Hi all
I need some advice on the right kit to control the rotation speed clockwise and anticlockwise for the servo below
robotshop.com/df15hsr-continuous-rotation-servo-motor-19kg-3.html
Ideally the right battery as well.
I am not after anything fancy just the basics to control the servo 360 with variable speed in either direction.
The application is to control vertical up and down movement for a head I am making with the ability to hold 3kg approx in weight and constant speed control downwards as well as upwards.
I am also not sure how noisy this servo will be any ideas?
Any specification sheets would be handy to
Any help here would be welcomed.
thanks
self contained with the ability to handle scripting . I did look at the micro maestro controller (6 channel). But I am not sure if it could allow continuous control. The script is nothing more than a on/off with loop and pulse increase depending on a pot.
The Arduino Uno would be very handy in terms of flexibility but again not sure if it can be programmed for 360 continuous use with a physical controller pot or slider.
Are there any demos of the df15hsr in terms of noise?
thanks
In order to control a servo you can use an RC receiver (for manual control), a servo motor controller (for control via a computer) or a microcontroller (for autonomous motion).
Also, you will need a 6V battery for the servo.
If you elaborate on which type of control better suits your needs, we can provide a perhaps more accurate suggestion.
In your case, for autonomous use, an Arduino microcontroller seems ideal. You can program it to read analogue inputs from potentiometer and drive the motor accordingly, you can also program a sequence of motions.
The servo controller you suggest on the other hand cannot read analogue inputs or be programmed to execute a series of motions.
For continuous rotation, the same control signals are used but you will need to use a continuous rotation servo or modify a regular servo.
