[ELECTRON] Servo control question

[Ross Feilen]

Hi Roy,

If you have an Arduino microcontroller board, this is a simple task.  
An Arduino Mega board contains 16 analogue inputs so enough for each  
of your nine pots, and plenty of output pins for each servo motor.  
Alternatively some form of multiplexing to read the pots using an  
analogue switch chip and four digital outputs could allow the use of a  
smaller board such as the standard Arduino board.

Have a look at the Servo Library section of http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage 
  for more information, or email me if you like this approach and have  
any questions.
