Endurance Servo Controller
The Endurance Servo module allows you to interface RoboRealm to servos using a controller made by Endurance R/C
The USB based servo controller supports up to 25 servos and provides for an external servo power supply in
order to run 5v, 6v, or 9v servos.
Interface
Instructions
1. Checkbox - To enable/disable a particular servo channel select the checkbox to change its state. When disabled
the servo position will not change.
2. Scroll Bars - Move your servos by dragging the
sliders to the right or left or by specifying a
number within the current value text box in the Current Value textfield. If the servos do not move
check your USB and/or board external power connections. You should see the red led light up on the
controller if the USB connection is functioning correctly and providing power to the board. Note that
in order for the servos to move you need to have the external power supply connected.
3. Variable Dropdown - Select an appropriate variable that contains or will contain the position
value that will be sent to the
servo board. This is used to automatically change the servo values based on your
VBScript (using the SetVariable function) or Extension based program.
4. Min/Max Limits - You can use the min/max limits to ensure that even if the variables specify
large or low values (due to programming errors)
that the board does not actually attempt to move the servos above or below
the specified limits. This can be used
as an additional precaution in case your servos cannot physically move beyond
certain limits.
5. Press STOP if you need to quickly disable all the servos and return them to the
middle or neutral (150) position.
Note that if you set a servo channel to be positioned using a variable's value you will lose manual control
over that servo. Changing the variable value, however, will change that servo's position.
