Control Ubtech Alpha Servos With The Ez-B V4?

Hello, I have a question .

I have these servos in my robot and have now bought the EZ-B V4.

But if it does not get to work, can the Ez b control these servos?

The servos are all connected and the controller only has 1 cable

greetings

Hi DJ,

added the plugin to a new project with the following settings Hardware uart0 two virtual servos checked V1 and V2 plugin shows Connected Events UART 0 @ 115200bps added a Movement Panel and added the 2 virtual servos tried moving the servos but nothing happens?

the script still works fine

running windows 10 with latest updates

  1. The id’s of the servos are V1 and V2? They need to match. In the test code I sent earlier, the ID was 0 (zero). Can you try with that servo again, on V0?

  2. What Movement Panel did you add?

  3. the plugin removed the 120+position as we discussed. To clarify, in your testing you also removed the 120+? So you tested with 0 and 252? Not adding 120 to anything?

  4. Also, can you try it with only one Servo?

  1. the id's on the servos are 1 and 2, I changed your test script to match. I don't have any servos with id 0

  2. I tried both

3)yes I removed the 120 from your script and inputed the values from 0 - 252 directly into $data[4]

  1. have tried both servos separately no difference

also noticed that once I remove the Ubtech plugin from a project and try to add it again it crashes the plugin on startup and the only way to get it to load again is by restarting windows. Unfortunately I was unable to get a screen shot of it last night, will post later.

I will load ARC on a another computer and try that just in case

Nomad, have you had a chance to try the plugin ?

Okay thanks. I’m trying in the dark here without servos to test with, so thanks for your patience!

I said that you should let others help with the test script and wait for the plugin. We are now talking about the plugin. You should try it.
