Am I correct in thinking a Laser 6 FM 75MHz Radio System will communicate with the servo motors through a Pololu Micro Serial 8 Servo Controller? I am not sure if I am piecing this together right! Thanks.
Thanks. I realized the “extra” component just after posting. But here is a new question. Know of any powered antenna’s? I can’t use a full size car one because it is too heavy, but I need an antenna to extend and retract about 25cm and be controlled by the remote.
All of the antennas we offer are designed to be used with specific products or product types. We don’t have any motorized ones simply because they are not necessary. If you need an antenna for your application, it should correspond to the transmitter or receiver you are using. If it is aesthetic, then you’ll need to see our friend Google to get more information.
Sincerely,
Hi phillyohio,
Not quite - the Laser 6 FM is a paired handheld transmitter and the corresponding receiver. The receiver unit receives the signal which it then splits up into R/C servo pulses of between 500 and 2500us. The Pololu servo controller takes microcontroller input and converts it to R/C servo pulses. Note that the receiver is included with the Laser 6 FM.
Sincerely,
