Re: [PD] servo control

he pablo
if you wanna use the parallax servo controller i'll have a python
script at hand. & also how to hack a servo for turning more than 360°
& still  havin a reference/'0'point. & i've also a schematic for an
h-bridge (l298n max.46V;4A)somewhere.
lemme know if this may help
best olsen

What motor do you have? Is it a servo/stepper/dc motor? Bipolar steppers 
or reversible dc motors need to be controlled by an H-bridge circuit. 
Servos can be hacked to rotate continuously but usually only have a 180 
degree range of motion. If you have an H-bridge circuit you could use 
the Arduino with pd to control it. The servo controller just needs a 
serial port.
Here's some info about steppers:

[PD] servo control

2007-10-07 Thread p d
Hello all,
I'm trying to control motors from pd. A few post in the pd-list deals
 with that problems, but from user-experience, i would like to know which
 one is the easiest one . The Parrallax Servo Controller seams to be a
 cheap solution, like Martin Peach explained but how is it working? Is
 it possible to control a bipolar motor (I need them to drive a toothed
 rack backward and forward)? Any help is apreciated. Thank you.

Re: [PD] servo control with pduino

2007-06-30 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

It would be very nice to control servos with Pduino, but because of  
timer/interrupt issues, it's not really possible to include servo  
control in the standard firmware.  Please prove me wrong! :D

Otherwise, I am currently in the process of turning the Firmata  
protocol into an Arduino library.  The idea there is to have specific  
firmwares that you can use with the [arduino] object.  For example, a  
special firmware that just controls servos, or gets data from  
ultrasound range finders.

[PD] servo control with pduino

2007-06-27 Thread olsen
Hi
so far for servo movements i'm using the Parallax Servo Controller 
PSC(USB) & a python script for sending the ascii paragraph to controll it.
since the release of pduino 0.3 anyone played around with servos on 
pduino - would be a nice improvement to pduino controlling servos?!
let me know if i could bear somewhere a hand on this
greets
olsen
