How to make Mini Maestro Servo-C recieve wireless commands?

Hello! Small question!

If I have a Mini Maestro 18 - channel servo controller plugged in with a Power signal and e.g. 8 servos connected. I have then made certain scripts for the servos to move specifically for each script using the Pololu Maestro Controll Center. For example script 1 makes 4 servos rotate to the left, and the other 4 to the right, and script does 2 the opposite.

I am now able to toggle these scripts on/off with a computer through USB Connection. QUESTION However, is there a way to toggle them wirelessy by for example using the Lynxmotion ps2 controller? So that the Square button sends a signal which toggles script 1 on, and the circle button toggles script 2 on etc.

Thanks for helping!

Hi,

You can use a BotBoarduino Controller interfaced with the Maestro Servo Controller (using serial communication) and connected to this Lynxmotion PS2 Controller.
You can find the wiring instructions and Arduino code here (instead of using an SSC-32, you will use a Maestro servo controller).
Of course, you will have to modify the Arduino code provided in the instructions.
You might also need to use the Arduino library for the Maestro that you can find here.

Hi! Quick reply.

Wouldn’t the BotBoarduino Controller be enough just by itself since in its specs it says it can plug up to 18 servos?

Hi,

Actually, yes you are correct, for just 8 servos, the BotBoarduino without a Maestro controller would be enough :
