A 32-Channel Digital R/C Servo Controller

This forward-thinking project uses a single controller to drive more than 30 radio-controlled (R/C) servos, making it easy to design sophisticated robots. The task of generating a large number of stable PWM control signals to drive the servos has been eliminated. A dedicated serial servo controller board handles multichannel PWM signal generation while being controlled by simple commands issued on a standard serial UART. The combined strengths of an FPGA and an ATmega8515L microcontroller make this project a unique and powerful solution for robotics applications.
