SparkFun Servo trigger

The SparkFun Servo Trigger is a small robotics board that simplifies the control of hobby RC servo motors. When an external switch or logic signal changes state, the Servo Trigger can instruct an attached servo motor to move from position A to position B. To use the Servo Trigger, simply connect a hobby servo and a switch, then use the on-board potentiometers to adjust the start/stop positions and the transition time. You can utilize a hobby servo in your projects without any programming.

The heart of the Servo Trigger is an Atmel ATTiny84 microcontroller, running a small program that implements the servo control features. On each Servo Trigger, you will find three potentiometers: "A" sets the position the servo sits in while the switch is open; "B" sets the position the servo moves to when the switch is closed; and "T" sets the time it takes to get from A to B and back. Compared to a servo motor, the Servo Trigger board draws very little current, roughly 5 mA at 5V. Note that if you're using the Servo Trigger to control your motor, the absolute maximum supply voltage that should be applied is 5.5 VDC.

Additionally, the SparkFun Servo Trigger is designed for easy daisy chaining of boards; you can simply connect the VCC and GND pads on adjacent boards to each other.
