Designed for projects requiring simple to complex RC servo control, including robotics, animatronic heads and other animatronics, special effects, scaled simulations, performance and sequencing options for musicians, automation and motion control applications, interactive displays, and more.

General Information

Each ServoCenter module allows simple, logical control of the seek position and seek speed of up to sixteen connected servos independently and simultaneously, and up to 16 ServoCenters may be chained together to control up to 256 RC servos with completely independent movement, from only one serial port. This independent control scheme allows one servo to move to a position slowly, while another is moving to a different position at a faster speed.  The independent control of both servo position and speed makes the ServoCenter controllers especially useful for applications such as robotics, animatronics, motion control, automation, retail displays, and other areas where independent or coordinated fluid servo motion is desired.

The ServoCenter controller can be programmed using a simple raw packet protocol or can be programmed using the included ActiveX control or Win32 DLL. Sample programs illustrating all programming methods are included in the documentation and examples CD. The ServoCenter Command Protocol allows complex servo movement commands to be issued by constructing and transmitting simple command packets. Code examples are included for:

GCC/Linux

QBASIC

Python

C#

TurboC

Visual C++ 6.0

Visual C++.NET
