Title: Slowing down a servo
Post by: gerard on March 18, 2014, 07:13:58 pm

Hi,
I am wanting to use a servo to rotate some aerials,I want it to do it slowly and also only move by approx a quarter turn.
Is there anything that will stop it at a particular point in either direction and slow it down?
Regards
Gerard

I think this will probably do the job just fine

Thanks for your input John
