Servos

So I popped by the local hobby shop and told them a bit about what I was doing.  They unfortunately didn't have a lead on any small cheap servos.  I figure I can go pretty cheap (sub $10) on these servos because the actual weight load and accuracy requirements are pretty minimal.  They did however think it was a pretty cool project and gave me a Server to test with for free.  Thanks!

Next step is to get an actual program running on the Arduino that can cause the servo to move.  As well as finding out if I need to be using a PWM pin out from the board, or if I can just use one of the regular digital I/O pins.

I'm thinking about sourcing the HXT900 ($5.85 > $81.90) from SolarRobotics.  It has fairly good reviews for being so cheap.  Other options are the Dagu Micro ($4.57 > $63.98) or the DFRobot Micro ($3.60 > $50.40) from Robot Shop.

I may just order one of each to test.  We shall see.
