Controlling a Servo with a Micro-controller and a Pot

In this video, you can see some very early tests I was performing to evaluate a certain servo motor for use in a mission critical application. This is all very serious business. I was turning a potentiometer, reading the position in with a Microchip micro-controller and then controlling the servo to give a roughly 1:1 response. Just wiggling the thing around was very rewarding.
