Hi--I've been wanting to build a simple servo control using a 555 or 558 
IC timer so that I can directly control a servo with a potentiometer but 
I wanted to know if anyone has already done this and know exact resistor 
and pot ohmage values and capacitor values so I don't have to experiment 
a million times to find them out. I don't know the exact pulse length or 
time. I wanted to use a 558 because I could then control pulse width and 
time pretty simply. I would rather use a 555 because of its convenience 
and price but I don't know how to configure it so that a specific pulse 
can be generated. (The length and duration of pulse). If anybody can help me 
with any ideas-

-PLEASE write me..

Thanks..
