Good Afternoon All!
I’m the new guy and have a quick question. I am using two (2) Hitec HS-775MG servo’s to open and close doors on a putt putt game. One of the motors is currently mounted upside down. I’ve tried to manually change the wiring but thats really tough. How hard is it to program my one additional output to drive the other motor in the reverse direction. I am using the Logicator software for programming and have two (2) buttons controlling the system.
Thanks
I’ve spoken with Hitec and they said I can swap the outside wires on the potentiometer and turn the motor 180 degree’s. Well the wires are easy but the motor is glued into place and soldered to a board.
I’ve heard reversing harnesses are nothing but trouble. Does anyone else have an idea. Control is currently a Picaxe-08M and I do have an extra output but have no idea how to write the code to run one servo in the opposite direction. I’m using the Logicator software for programming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
Hi Milkman
Why not just specify the opposite (mirror) angle in your code? When one actuator moves to 45 degrees, the other moves to 180-45 degrees. Changing the internal configuration of a servo is not the easiest option - you should either be able to change the software, or reconfigure where the servo is placed physically in your project.
