How To Servo Motor Control Using Microcontroller PIC16F877A

This document describes how to control a servo motor using a PIC16F877A microcontroller. It explains that servo motors can be positioned by sending PWM signals of varying pulse widths. A pulse width of 1500μs positions the motor to the center, less than 1500μs moves it left, and greater than 1500μs moves it right. The circuit uses three buttons to rotate the motor to -90, 0, and +90 degrees by changing the PWM signal sent to the motor. The PIC microcontroller code uses functions to move the motor in each direction and continuously checks the button states in a loop to call the appropriate function.
