Of course. Write a PID based control loop and put it an something like an Arduino. I've done this a few times the control the wheels of a mobile robot.
The details depend on the interfaces to botkhthe motoring the higher level control As for higher level control... Is it a human using a joystick or some kind of automation that does the same thing repetivity or must the device interact with the environment some how. Perhaps opening a for as a person approaches. Then I have to ask what kind of hardware driver you have. Some drivers do most of the work for you. These might take a step/direction pulse, r have an analog input. But other drivers are just an H-Bridge and raw encoder signals. This is the kind of serves I use. I end u using a small micro controler (Arduino or ARM-M) and relaying on a PID library. In ant case most of your effort will be spent in the interfaces not the actual PID control loop as that is just a few calls to a PID library On Wed, Mar 28, 2018 at 8:15 AM, Marius Liebenberg <mar...@mastercut.co.za> wrote: > Hi all > I have to put together a system that will use one servo to drive a small > platform over a distance of 6m at a speed of about 25km/h or 8m/s or there > about. > > I feel that using a full computer and mesa card for just one axis that does > not need a display sounds a bit excessive.
