Re: Controlling Servo Motor using a PC


Hi shanz,

You can set into your program of your servo motor some predetermine coordinates(positions) which they will be activated by buttons of ur software.

Controlling Servo Motor using a PC


Hi shanz,
You can develop a Software application with wich you can monitors and command your motors. I recommend to you Delphy of Labview.
Hope it help.

Shaft encoder - this is the most common sensor for position and velocity of servo motors. They can be a bit expensine, though.

Re: Controlling Servo Motor using a PC


hi shanz,

just use printer cable to interface your motor..find the addresses and data pins..use it in your program.
