ACTIVITY #1: MEASURING PULSES FOR SERVO CONTROL
In this activity we will create and measure servo pulses using the OPTAscope’s Paired
Bars cursors function
Parts Required
(1) Standard Parallax servo
(1) 3-pin male/male header
(1) 220 Ω resistor (for the Board of Education Revs B and C)
(5) Jumper wires
Building the Servo Measurement Circuit
The circuits used in this chapter are built the same for the Board of Education Revisions
B and C, but differently for the HomeWork Board. Schematics and wiring diagrams for
both are included below.
Follow these directions for the Board of Education Rev. B and C:

P14
Insert the 3-pin male-male header into the servo lead. This will allow you to
connect the servo directly to the breadboard.
Build the circuit as shown in Figure 2-2 Figure 2-3:
Connect the OPTAscope CH1 probe to P14 and the GND probe to Vss as shown
