Servo Motor Control using 555 Timer IC Tutorial:67

Learn how to use a 555 Timer chip in order to control the movement of a servo motor.

This is a 555 timer in Astable mode which can generate a frequency with a low duty cycle in order to control a single Servo motor (90+-). By changing the resistance value of POT1 you can change the duty cycle of the timer roughly within the same frequency (19Hz) which in turn will change the position of the servo motor arm.
