Controlling 18 servos

Hey everyone,
I posted the  document regarding the servo controller in Google Docs. Let me know if I need to make any changes.

  1. If you really need to control more than 16 servos I'd recommend that you use an Arduino Mega instead of the Arduino Uno. It has 4 available timers on board so you can do up to 48 servos (each timer gets you 12 servos). More details here:

  2. Ah, we are not actually controlling 18 servos. We were simply trying to understand how 1 timer can control the 8 servos FOBO has with the decade counters. But thanks for the recommendation!
