@DJ There have been lots of discussion (especially lately) about Dynamixel smart servos and now you have released a new plugin for support of KRS ICS smart servos too... I was just wondering if EZ Robot has considered or is considering your own brand of smart servo? I mean nothing would be more compatible with the ez robot platform than your own "in house" products, right?
Anyway I currently use a lot of the standard ez robot servos in my projects and find them pretty decent. However, I would have jumped a long time ago to smart servos if the cost wasn't so prohibitive... Saying that I would be more than willing to pay for "smart" ez robot servos especially since I know integration and compatibility would be complete... I know supporting 3d party products can sometimes be a pain for ez robot so I thought "hey if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"...
I do understand that maybe only us DIY guys would be more interested in smart ez robot servos, but could you imagine JD with them?
These new servo's sound great - can't wait to get some. So after the you develop the smaller servo's - why not something to replace the HS-805's? I know they don't fit in any of your EZ Robots but the market for a servo with these qualities, the size of the 805 is there. 1 InMoov = 14 HS-805 servo's and there are a few thousand InMoov's being built.
It's something to consider after additional market research. Unless we can sell 200,000+ servos per year, it isn't cost effective. Specifically when there are already so many competing products, such as the hs805
I would definitely replace all my HS805 on my Inmoov for these, if they would help with the dam buzzing!
I think there's a lot of folks on the Inmoov website that would be interested, I'm always seeing postings on the website of the HS805 and their equivalents being out of stock. Chris.
I understand what @DJ is saying... EZ Robot is going to need way more than the entire inMoov market in order to justify developing and selling a replacement for the large scale 805bb servo....
@dj, will these servos remain 7.4 volts and will torque remain the same or increase?
If I were EZ Robot I'd sell these to third party vendors, both robotic and hobby stores. You'd reach 200k of units very quickly! If only by the fact they are buzz-less digital.
@DJ Sures I like the new servo's already, will there be HDD cont.rotation servo's too? Higher power and faster for the adventure bot?
There are already HDD continuous rotation servos since beginning of December 2016. All continuous rotation servos shipped since 2016 are metal gear digital.
