Sounds like you’re suggesting removing the dowel (axis) altogether and just connecting the horn directly to the back of the wood circle. I made a rough sketch of what I think you’re suggesting.
Below is what I originally was trying to figure out.
Effectively. If you don’t like the hole which gives access to the screw, you can likely find a small piece of wood to plug it.
I keep having an issue. IDK if it has to do with my arduino code, or the pressure on the servo. I think it’s the latter.
So i set it all up the way i show with my pink plywood in the attached picture above. But because I can’t seem to get my servo connected to the axle PERFECTLY in a straight line, the servo always seems to buzz/hum after it’s done with its rotation. The only way i can get it to stop buzzing is by manually tapping the assembly, which i think shakes off the tension that the rod is placing on the servo. I saw on your website some load bearing servo blocks that I think MAY resolve the issue, but it just seems like such an expensive option for such a lightweight low cost project. All i’m trying to do is spin a rod lol. But the mechanics of this component is proving to be the biggest pain in the a$$ of this whole project. Any thoughts? Thanks again for all of your help so far.
That means it cannot get to the final desired angle. If you have an acceleration / deceleration profile for the servo angles with respect to time, you should be able to overcome that. Again, since we have not seen the setup, we’re assuming there’s not much weight at all on the servo’s horn?
Morning @cbenson
After doing some research, my conclusion was actually that it was related to weight on the servo horn. I’ve purchased a servo block. I think that should resolve my issue…I hope…
