Xbee Wireless Servo Control

Data & Observations
           This article has taken the simple idea of how to control a servo motor and moved past the wires to the wireless realm that xbee offers us. With a little serial interfacing using the PIC's USART, let's see how the system works in a short video.


           Things were quite successful and worked rather flawlessly. There's a tiny delay between transmission and reception but that is due to the fact that the transmitter sends commands every 5-10 miliseconds, which will cause a tiny, but noticeable delay. I also tested the system out on my animatronic eyes and it worked quite well. Seems like a cool future project, wireless control of animatronics =D!
