PQ12 with L.A.C

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

Hi,

I would like to move a PQ12 with the LAC that is controlled by another device. My main objective is to have 2 or more LAC boards with connected PQ12 servo’s and to be able to move them at a give time of the day pre-programmed. I assumed that is it possible with the PWM option on the LAC.

The PQ12 is connected to the LAC and i am able to run the actuonix lac configuration on my computer connect it with USB and to move the PQ12, with the give values typed by hand, i would like to automate this.

If there is any experience in this field help would be greatly appreciated.

friendly greetings.

HI @sjors and welcome to our forum.

As I understood you already purchased PQ12 and LAC board?

Have in mind that not all versions of PQ12 will work with LAC board. Version that will work are ones that have position feedback.

Anyway, you can use microcontroller (for example Arduino) to control PQ12 via LAC board.

Here is one example: How To Use A Linear Actuator Control Board With Arduino

I hope this is helpful for you.
