What microcontroller would you recommend?

Hello!

As the titel says, i’m here asking for your recomendations when it comes to choosing a microcontroller.

What do i plan on using it for?

To keep things simple, i’ll say that I want to control a various amount of servos, lets say 6 at a time. I now want to command those servos by a wireless controller, (a ps2 controller for example.)

My problem is that I do not know what microcontroller to get in order to fulfill this goal.

Follow-up question.

What more do I need except for servos, a microcontroller and a ps2 controller?

Thanks for helping! :slight_smile:

Hi,

The Lynxmotion BotBoarduino + SSC-32U USB Servo Controller can do what you described perfectly.
There is even the instructions in Step 3 on how to wire the BotBoarduino with the SSC-32 and the PS2 Receiver and the Arduino code for the BotBoarduino.
You will also need the PS2 Controller as this Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4
You can take a look at our Servos section here.

Thanks you very much for your answer Brahim!

I have one question though. Do you mean that I would need both the SCC-U32 and the BotBoarduino or just one of them? If both are needed then what purpose do they both serve individually?

Thanks

Hi,

You would need both the SSC32 and the BotBoarduino.
In the BotBoarduino, you will upload the Arduino code to communicate with the PS2 Receiver and communicate with the SSC32 which will control the servos.
Please take a look at **Step 4 **in this guide.
