This might be a pretty good way to control a servo. The pot on the left would be your input and the one on the right would adjust the center.  

You could also attache a wind vane to the one on the left, use the one on the right to trim for center, use the output to control an auto pilot motor on a sailboat.  

The boat would turn to maintain its course with reference to the wind. 

I'm thinking about trying this on my boat. 

Any thoughts would be helpful. :-)

very much digital. wouldn't it be better to do it with a PID regulator. Because this circuit will endup in an oscillating servo motor.
