Well poo… I guess I’m going to desolder the 8m and go with the 28x. That sucks
I dont get this?You want to
I dont get this?
You want to use 8m to control servos, I show you that there even is a ready made board for it, you say it sucks?
It sucks bcause I have to
It sucks bcause I have to buy it, pay $9 for shipping when I have a 28x1 sitting right here I can use 
I was hoping there was a home made solution. I swapped out the chips.
This is purely hypothetical
This is purely hypothetical and does not reflect any real world situation…
What if I were to hook up 3 servos to a picaxe 28x supplied with 5 volts and I forgot to solder a 330ohm resistor on to the signal pin. Would that fry said servos… hypothetically?
Actually I have no clue what
Actually I have no clue what them 330’s are there fore. I once wrote som bull about them damping electric noise or something, but BOA told me that I was way out.
Good answer, ha?
Ok I proved my servos were
Ok I proved my servos were good by putting them on a project board. Here is how I have it wired:
Picaxe 28x1
Pin Goes to
6 serial in on stereo adapter
7 serial out on stereo adapter
8 ground
19 ground
20 5volts (9volt on a 5volt regulator)
21 signal for servo
22 signal for servo
Am I missing any pins? What about reset on pin 1, is that supposed to be ground and the board resets when the connection is broken? Or does it reset when pin 1 connects to ground?
I have hooked 6 servos to an
I have hooked 6 servos to an Arduino without the resistors and all are fine (servos and Arduino). I guess they are there to limit the current to the servos in case something goes bad.
Ok so I’m a moron… the
Ok so I’m a moron… the orange wire is signal not the brown They work. I’ll hopefully finish this project this weekend.
