I need something I can program to pass an RC receiver signal through but then stops that direction when it hits a limit. Only allowing me to reverse while on that limit.
I need to preserve the original signal to control the continous servo speed.
Any help would be appreciated,
Ken
Hi @Kenny8282 and welcome to our forum.
You have an interesting project.
On the first thought, it looks like you need a microcontroller. Have you worked with those? For example, with Arduino.
I guess you would need to write a code where you would process this RC signal and then base on it, send PWM signal to servo.
I hope this helps.
Yes I have had a lot of experience and that was my original thought. I was just hoping for an easier turn key setup.
I had purchased a few Maestro boards but after reading the manual the analog input is just a switch with a pullup.
I would have to run switches from the RC receiver to inputs and lose the variable speed part I need.
The Lynxmotion Smart Servos have “current limp” and “current hold” modifiers. In serial mode, you can assign a current value to a position value and if that current value is reached or exceeded, the servo will either stop and hold the position or go limp.
