Servo motor (HSR-1425R) not running continuously I'm trying to programme a servo motor to reach certain positions. I have a 360 degrees servo motor, so I can not use the Servo library and I can only control the speed. Therefore I want to regulate the time for the pulse. The setup is simple, 5 V, GND and pin 9 from the Arduino to the motor.

int servo1 = 9;

void setup{
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(servo1, OUTPUT);
}
void loop{
    digitalWrite(servo1, HIGH);
    delay(5000);
    Serial.println(digitalRead(servo1));
    digitalWrite(servo1, LOW);
    delay(5000);
    Serial.println(digitalRead(servo1));
}


Expected:
I expect the code to run the servo motor at full speed for 5 seconds.

Actual:
The motor runs at the first impulse and pauses for 10 seconds.

How can I improve the code to do what I expect?
Look at how servo motors are typically controlled. As far as I know there are no servos that can just be "enabled to rotate" like you seem to expect.
Usually a servo's position is set by applying a pulse of a specific length. This means you can apply a PWM signal with proper frequency. Then the duty cycle should be proportional to the servos position. From my experience timing is quite critical when controlling a servo, so going the way you do (timing a gpio's output state with delay()s) will not work well. You have to use the atmega's hardware modules (which already is the case when using the arduinos digital write) to achieve adequate timing.
