is it possible to move (9V~12V) servos?
I have really cool high quality servos.. but its difficult

provided an english datasheet pdf which is for the software only... hmm
which is cleaner than another i found
If you get success with DJ's plugin it will be the best option.
BUT
Before that, can you do a few more tests. I would like to find the culprit
Please follow these steps:
1) EZB off (NO servo Connected)
3) Connect power to EZB (NO servo Connected)
4) Open ARC
5) Connect to EZB
6) add the following script:
Code:
7) run the script
8) Connect the servo to port D0
9) Add a servo control for port D0 and move up and down, check if the servo moves.
10) disconnect the servo from port D0
11) Connect the servo to port D1
12) Add a servo control for port D1 and move up and down, check if the servo moves.
13) disconnect the servo from port D1
Feedback:
1) Let me know the results points 9 and 12.
2) start again from point 8, check the results point 9, 12.
3) Start again from point 1, check the results point 9, 12.
Good Luck.
very interesting!
the results from point 1 - 9: the servo ist moving!
only on port D0
If I conntect 5x servos from D0-D5 only D0 is moving! (from point 1-9)
from point 9-12 the servo ist not moving!
first I have to start the Realtime Update Modus and select the correct port..
after this I connect the servo to the port and it moves.
interesting, too:
the EZB works now on this ports as long as the EZB is ON.
all activated ports via Realtime Update Modus I can use.
It doesnt matter how often I change the ports "in port edit mode"..one time activated.. the whole time activated.
important.. first activate, then connect the servo cable.
this does not apply to D0, D0 needs only Step (1-9) to move.
@DJ Sures
thanks for your help and app.
but I dont know.. how I can use it.. *tired*
Regarding DJ's implementation you need:
1) Download and install the Kondo Plugin.
2) Create a new project
3) Add the Kondo plugin
4) Connect the Kondo servo (serial configuration mode) to port D5
5) Power on EZB, Connect ARC to EZB
6) Add a servo control, select V0 port.
7) Move up & down check if the servo moves.

Hows it going? been following this thread closely just started trying to interface my KHR-3hv to the ezi robot controller. Does it matter what ram id the servo is set at? or do they correlate to the V number you dedicate it to (if you connect them in series to D5)? Also I found some information that might help

The only reason to control a robot from arduino is if you're trying to impress someone from 2005
No need to follow this thread. Simply add the plugin, connect the servos to the selected ezb port. And use amazing ezrobot features that dominate the industry! Take over the world with robots. That's all
thought it might be useful for the other parameters of the servo's.
I'll keep tinkering

Can drive servo's now, but not too sure about sending and receiving other parameters and setting id's. it would be awesome to read in positions to set the min and max of positions and help getting him to work

There is no reading from these servos in ARC. If you are experienced with c#, you can create a plugin to do so. I unfortunately do not have the available time.
You can control as many servos as there are id's for off a uart. Feeding the servos appropriate power should be directly from the battery if you're exceeding the datasheet specifications. You will have to check the datasheet to see what the specifications are.
@cpsergi
hello.
is it possible to use a tiny controller ?
I need a UART Port.. what is Tinys UART Port ?
all what I need is:
EZ Software, the plugin and to cenntect one of all Kondo Servos to an UART-Port, then I control all Servos via Virtual ports.
have I understood matters correctly ?
We don't have any of those servos here in the lab. Would you like to test the Kondo KRS ICS plug-in in ARC?
