Hi all,
Can anyone say me what is the difference between anolog and digital servos we have an 5995 , and I heard that digital servos can be programmed , if it is true what does it mean and how can we programme it.
Thank you
Mehmet
Analog servos have to be refreshed periodically in order for them to keep their position. You have to keep sending them pulses to keep them at a set position.
Digital servos hold their positions without being refreshed and are more accurate at getting to a position. Digital servos can also be programmed for a set range of motion, such as 140 degree total, etc.

How can we program these servos? Can it be done over SSC32 card or do we need an extra equipment?
Hitec sells a servo programmer, which is available here from Lynxmotion. It’s expensive though. There are rumors the servos can be programmed by a microcontroller, but nobody has come forth with positive information on this yet.

The rumor is true:
You can program the servos with a micro, and there is no information on how to do this.
yeah, Jim told us that a few month ago I think (maybe less…)
What’s this !.. A rumor 
Hmmm looking…

Now all of the information you need to do it is there. However, isn’t there always a “however”? 
I was not able to get it to work. Since then Nathan (Basic Micro) has released the new Atom Pro IDE beta. It’s been a while since I messed with this, but I believe the original code was written using this IDE, and it may be required. Sadly I am not able to devote any time to this right now. But Nathan monitors this forum and would likely help if anyone wanted to give it a go. Any takers?
See, I knew there was information on how to do this…
