hi. im using sg90 with this project. its said that sg90 has 180 degrees turning angle but in this board the motor cant turn even 90 degrees. what is the problem?
This servo motor can move to +/- 90 degrees in each direction. Do you have an oscilloscope to test the signal produced? Position “0” (1.5 ms pulse) is middle, “90” (~2ms pulse) is middle, is all the way to the right, “-90” (~1ms pulse) is all the way to the left.
wrote below code. i see the same result in proteus (also achieved same oscilloscope view) but in real circuit servos turning randomly. any ideas about 16f873 setup?

ADC of 16f873 returns with 16 bit but i calculated code for 10 bit. so when i divide s0,s1,s2 and s3 with decimal 65 its ok now. but motors are vibrating a bit. code must not be as mine 🙂
