Detailed Description

This class runs a thread which records servo position from sound card.

Radio-control servomechanisms are controlled by a pulse-width-modulated protocol in which a 1-2ms pulse (from 0V to 4.8V) is generated every 18-25ms. The width of the pulse (between 1 and 2ms) determines the position of the servo. This class uses an AudioGrabber to record pulses, for example coming from an R/C receiver. It then computes the pulse width and converts it to a number between -1.0 and 1.0. The current pulse values are available via getVal(), which is a non-blocking function call.
