maybe a useful link for this post.

Hope you are ready for some confusion… Um, I mean clarification.

thanks…

Sigh… yes the sentence above is accurately written to say the 645 responds to pulses in the range of aprox: 500uS - 1500uS - 2500uS. :unamused:

Additional info:

Anatomy of a Servo
Servos consist of four basic components: a motor, gear reduction, feedback device (typically a variable resistor potentiometer), and a control board. The motor, using a series of gears, turns the output shaft and the potentiometer simultaneously. The potentiometer is fed into the servo control circuit and when the control circuit detects that the position is correct, it stops the motor.
