Control Servos with FPGA

Hello.. I was wondering if its possible to control servos using FPGA but without external control like a switch.

I mean is there any way to make the FPGA control or give 3 -4 servos difrent directions by itself and make a loop again?

For example like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tPQs6SrTXQ

Thank you!

    Hello!

    the servos I'm using is SG-90

    I'm trying to figure a way to make 4 servos rotate in different directions to implement the movement of a robotic arm.

    I bought this kit and I want to make it work with FPGA..

    My goal is to understand how to write a code that can generate a PWM so I can drive a servo

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Sure the FPGA can do this. Please let me know exactly what do you want to do and what are the motors names, I might find a reference design for you or at least guide you how to do it.

    Regards.
