The Arduino Mega micro-controller arrived last week so I started to work on the slat controller for the billboard project.

I wired up three servos and cooked up few lines of code. I’m just sweeping them in unison since it was faster to set up. But I will make up some nice sweep patterns for about 50 servos.

The servos are so close to 180 degrees a am tempted to think about direct drive for the slats on the billboard.

I just checked and I only have 23 servos in stock. I better get some more!

Update I now have about a hundred.
