Interface
Instructions
1. On inserting the module you will be able to control each of the servo channels by either
entering in a number from 0 to 255 in the text area or by dragging the scroll bar to the left or right.
The servo position will be updated as appropriate.
2. To control the servo automatically select an appropriate variable that contain 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.
You can also 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.
3. Press STOP if you need to quickly disable all the servos and return them to the middle or neutral (128) position.
