CIRCUIT ALLOWS SLEW RATE CONTROL

This circuit (figure 1) will impose a maximum slew rate on a signal; positive and negative rates can be independently controlled. The circuit is useful in servo applications where the error signal needs to be limited to be within the power rails to ensure predictable operation.

Manual Servo Control by PIC16F84

Our next program will allow you to control the direction of the servo manually via a SPDT switch (with a center-off position) connected to ports B1 and B2. Without a center-off position, you will have to use two switches. A schematic is shown in figure 3 (below).

Servo pulse to PWM converter by LM324

The circuit presented on this page attemps to be an interface to convert pulses such as provided by a Basic Stamp or R/C receiver to a dual PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signal required by an H-bridge. The simplest circuit would use a small microcontroller like a PIC. This circuit takes a more traditional approach. Many experimenters will have all the parts already. Total parts cost should be equal to a simple espresso drink, although I have stopped drinking coffee I still remember how much it costs.
