Hi nuwan5213,
do you have the data sheet for servo motor you can post please?
I have check pulse width on hardware for flowchart you have posted.
With An0 at 0V pulse width is 918.5 uS = 0.9185mS
With An0 at 5V pulse width is 2.22mS
Time between pulses is 20.5mS
This appears to be correct for a standard Servo motor.

Looking at data sheet, we maybe able to determine if the pulse is adequate or not?

Have you got access to a scope so yo can check pulse output width from B7?
