I’m just wondering if this part can be integrated with a LabView program or some similar program to remotely control the gear rack kit to modulate. In essence I want to apply this gear rack kit to a knife valve of sorts that will slide open once a certain condition has been met. I want to be able to remotely open this valve/modulate the gear rack outside of a room where the system will be located.
Thank you!
Hello @BhavikD and welcome to the RobotShop forum,
You could use a USB Servo Controller (which have a configuration program that you can use to control the servo). However, if you don’t need to program it but simply control it remotely you could use a transmitter/receiver, but keep the following in mind:
Signal information: The HS-785HB servo rotates approximately 1.7 degrees/microsecond change in signal. To achieve full travel, a signal range from approximately 850-2150usec will be required (each HS-785HB servo responds to a signal slightly differently so you may need to fine-tune this range in order to achieve full travel without hitting the stops at the ends). On a standard RC transmitter and receiver (assuming a 1050-1950usec range) the Gear Rack Kit will travel approximately 6.7”.
