Rough idle

I've got a 2007 LX and have noticed that it tends to vibrate way more than I'd like when it idles sometimes. I've also noticed that it only does it when it idles under 700 RPM. I used to have an old Chevy truck that had the throttle cable linked up on the top of the engine, so adjusting it's idle a little higher was pretty darned easy. (A little electrical tape worked great.) I couldn't seem to find a similar set up for my Civic. Is there any easy way to adjust the idle by 100 or so RPM to avoid the rough idle caused by the low RPM, or is that all controlled electronically?
