A standalone platform for animal manipulation.
This is the firmware for project Servo_2015, a small board which allows to control a servo via its PWM input. Setup and control of the servo is done via 3 keys, and, for selecting the two end positions, also via two external inputs, please see below. The firmware supports soft-start, i.e. the servo speed will be ramped-up during the start phase.
Technical specifications:
- Input voltage: 12-42V
- Standby current consumption: 3mA@12V
- Maximum current consuption: 1.5A
- Dimensions: 60 × 50 × 10 mm
Supported:
- HiTEC HS-5646WP
- HiTEC HS 785(sailing winds)
Setup Mode
The servo setup procedure consists of 4 steps:
- Adjust end position 1. This can be the most left or the most right end point. This position will be reached after power-up if valid servo data has been found in FLASH.
- Adjust end position 2. This is the opposite end position to position 1.
- Adjust servo speed. The servo permanently moves between the two end points. The speed can be adjusted via S1 and S2.
- Asserting S3 the 4th time stores the servo parameters into FLASH and returns to normal operation
