Servorator
Servorator is an open source Arduino library, providing sophisticated speed control for servos, that I wrote for my Robix arm project in order to creating smoother movements.
Servo16
Now that I have the servo shield working I went ahead and created my first OSX app to control the servos from my desk top. It’s a very simple app. There’s a slider for each of the 16 servos. Changing the sliders causes commands to be sent to the selected serial port. On the Arduino […]
Adafruit’s Servo Shield
Finally got the servo shield from Adafruit. The shield comes with the typical non-stackable male headers to interface with the Arduino board, as well as four 3×4 male headers for connecting up to 16 servos, and a two pin terminal block to provide power for those servos. I wanted to be able to stack other […]
555 Servo Controller
While waiting for my servo shield to arrive I decided to learn how to use a 555 timer chip to control a servo.
The Original Project
Many years ago I bought a simple robot construction kit from Robix called “Rascal”, though when I bought it it was called “RCS-6”. I never got around to using it to any significant degree and that always irked me. The kit was not cheap. This Holidays I was looking for some kind of fun project to […]
