  Variable Speed Control Modification to the Futaba S3003 RC Servo
The Radio Controlled (RC) servo is an ingenious device that allows remote, proportional actuation of mechanisms by the simple movement of a lever on a controller or the software of a robot.
RC model servos are fairly sophisticated devices that incorporate both position and speed feedback with a goal to provide precise position control.
With your servo connected to the servo driver or pulse function generator, you should be able to operate the servo from complete stop to full speed in either direction smoothly and easilty over the 1-1.5 mS and 1.5-2 mS (5-7.5% and 7.5-10% duty cycle) range.

 R/C Servo Pulse, PPM and PCM coding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
All today's normal R/C servos (not high-speed digital servos for helicopter tail etc.) that I am aware of are controlled with a pulse length of 1-2ms sent periodically around every 20ms (this value is not so critical).
FUTABA PPM (standard FM) receivers used to have from 0V (low) to almost input battery voltage (high), some FUTABA PCM receivers use from 0V (low) to 3.3V (high).
Pin2 of the DIN6 FUTABA trainer cable is the PPM output, pin3 the input (ground is the shield).

 RC Receiver Interface to BrainStem GP 1.0   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
For the RC system in this example, the pulse widths for channel 1 ranged from 660 (left) to 1230 (right) and and the pulse widths for channel 3 ranged from 757 (down) to 1164 (up).
Two different equations must be used to map the RC channel inputs to valid servo positions in the range 0-255.
John J. Kelly III suggested the following math trick to simplify the input scaling: Futaba RC systems are designed to produce pulses of 1.1ms to 1.9ms on all of their channels.
