About 8 bits. The PWM varies from 1ms to 2ms with 1.5ms being the center position. These values are nominal, there is some variation between servos, depending on the manufacturing run. In the super servo program these times translate from 2000 to 4000 processor cycles. Control can be as fine as 1 cycle (500ns), but the control electronics for our servos cannot match this precision. Changes of 10 cycles are noticable in our servos.
