Hey Guys Any Way To Convert This Arduino Script Into The Ezb V4 Platform?

There is a company in india making these awesome cheap boards (way cheaper than using sabertooth) that turns dc motors with encoders. Into positional servos.  They have arduino code already and I am wondering if this can be translated into the ezb v4 platform thanks here is the link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZePOyxjhMY&t=460s Or do we have script templates already for this?

How many motors do you have to control with the encoder wheel?

also, i do have a slight concern with the encoder wheel as a servo. While it’ll kinda work, there’s going to be a margin of error. And over time, it’ll move out of position. And each time you use it, every encoder wheel servo will need to be recalibrated.

if you could add a potentiometer to each joint, as Richard r pointed out, it’ll be more reliable and easier to use. It’ll decrease setup time as well.

my recommendations for that is to connect a servo pcb to a more powerful hbridge. This gives the hbridge the ability to become a servo.

Oh ok

Yea getting out of sync over time is not an option.  Each Motor has the encoder built in

Taking a servo apart and using the board to connect to a pot then the hbridge

You guys are right its just quicker

Thats really cool

I will probably just do that

It seems in robotics there are many different solutions to a problem
