I recently read a post regarding slowing down 12 volt motors. The servos I am using are powered via 12vdc - they are super heavy duty. I'm using them for neck pan and tilt. Now for the 2 part question... Using my built in webcam on my laptop I am trying to track my face and have the servos move accordingly. Is this possible? I ask because the servos just kind of go bonkers and do what they want. I was going to wait until I had the actual ezb camera in hand before posting but...
Part 2.... So again is there a way to slow these servos down? I adjusted frame rate to max and to min trying to slow the reaction down to no avail. These servos get power and signal directly from EZB4 and the EZB4 is powered via 26amp hour gel battery. Again I was going to wait till I had the camera but my interest was piqued by the other post.
Hi @Kamaroman68
To adjust your servo speed you don't have to call a script if you don't want to, in the "Add Control" window you can go to "Servo" tab and then add the "Servo Speed" control. You will then have to configure it for the servo port you are using and you can then adjust the servo you are using from normal speed (0) to painfully slow (20)
So yes, you can slow your servos right down if you'd like.
Thank you everyone. The final question to this post is, is there a way to limit the servos travel? Look left 90 degrees max, center, look right 90 degrees max. Thanks again
90deg left and 90deg right is actually full range for most servos... to achieve this set min to 1 and max to 180 in any servo control.... 90 is centre. So if you enter 45 as the min and 135 as the max the servo will no only have an approx sweeping left and right range of about 45degs....
Thanks everyone. Richard R you kick A$$ Chris
Ha, ha.... Thanks Chris!
