Feel free to use as you want, on your own responsibility. The code is provided "as is", no warranty.
Thank you to Gert van Loo & Dom for GPIO example code: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals#GPIO_Driving_Example_.28C.29
Extremely simple library for generating PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signals on the Raspberry PI GPIO pins, as used by common r/c servos.
-
Get & install Xenomai for the Raspberry Pi: http://powet.eu/2012/07/25/raspberry-pi-xenomai/
-
Connect the signal cable of a servo to GPIO07 (pin 26) http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Raspberry-Pi-GPIO-Layout.png
-
Connect external power source to your servo and ensure you share the ground with your Raspberry Pi (pin 6)
-
Run "make examples" and then execute "examples/move-servo-7"
