    A 555 timer chip in Astable mode is used to generate a low duty cycle frequency of around 19Hz to control the position of a servo motor arm. By adjusting the resistance value of a 100KΩ potentiometer, the duty cycle of the timer can be varied, changing the servo motor arm position within the same frequency. The circuit schematic and components list are provided to build the 555 timer circuit on a breadboard for controlling the servo motor.

    Using a 555 Timer chip in order to control the movement of a servo motor

    This is a 555 timer in Astable mode which can generate a frequency with a low duty cycle in order to
    control a single Servo motor (90+-). By changing the resistance value of POT1 you can change the
    duty cycle of the timer roughly within the same frequency (19Hz) which in turn will change the
    position of the servo motor arm.
