programmable servo
Does ardupilot control how fast and how far a servo will move or do I need a programmable servo to do that?

ArduPilot, like all consumer-grade autopilots, uses regular RC servos. They can control how far they move (degrees) but not how fast.

Hi Donny, if you want slower movement of your servo (not faster), you can chop the total servo throw up in smaller steps. Every loop of the software will then move the servo a little bit until it reaches the desired position.
Cheers

Ardupilot has slew rate limiting implemented for all of the servos. Just put degrees per second into your PID file.

I stand corrected! Thanks, Jason.
