Need help with Servo Controller

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

I have a robotic project that I would like to use something like the Pololu Maestro servo controller to control some servos in a simple loop script when the robot is on stationary display but I would also like to be able to switch to my RC transmitter to control at times as well. I currently have it set up as manual control on RC

What do I need to be able to switch from manual RC mode to a servo controller like the Pololu maestro so I can use both at different times

Thanks for your help

You can use a Lynxmotion SYA-01 Servo Y Adapter Cable to connect your servo to the Pololu Maestro servo controller and an RC receiver.
You can also use the Dimension Engineering BattleSwitch Radio Controlled Relay connected to a second channel on the RC receiver to cut the logic power off on the Maestro when manual RC control is used.
Since, the logic and servo power on the Maestro are separate as indicated in page 89 of the Maestro’s datasheet.
