I don't feel like the article explains that at all. They explain the control signal and what the servo does as a result. The "how" in between is completely missing though. How is that pulse translated? How does the feedback work? What are the safety mechanisms involved?
- relaxing 2y agoThat’s because the control circuit is hidden in a monolithic IC. If you’re really curious, here’s a datasheet for an old fashioned design with a block diagram and theory of operation described that should give you some hints. https://www.meditronik.com.pl/doc/plus/zn409.pdf https://www.meditronik.com.pl/doc/plus/zn409.pdf If that sort of thing interests you, there’s a whole field of control theory to study.

- MarkSweep 2y agoI think this is a pretty good overview of how motors work and how you can write algorithms to control how much torque they generate by varying the PWM: https://www.actronic-solutions.de/files/actronic/FTPROOT/Field-Oriented-Control.pdf https://www.actronic-solutions.de/files/actronic/FTPROOT/Fie...
