This question may have already been answered and may even be a dumb question but i could not find it. How would i go about hooking this motor in the attached link to the ezbv4. It only has a positive and negative wire and no signal wire
Continuous servo does not have position.
When you set servo position 1 the continuous servo will run at max speed forever until you send a stop position e.g. 90
is there not anyway to set it up to automatically go to a set stop position. for example i flex my muscle to send signal to motor in order for it to initiate its movement could you not program it to automatically stop at a certain degree or position. i understand it acts as a continuous servo but these motor when used with other boards some how stop without going continuously or without sending a second signal in order to make it stop. some of the very expensive prosthetics use these style motors but i make them cheaper for people who cant afford them so im just trying to take the same motors that the expensive ones use and put them into the designs im using. there has to be a way for it to stop, as this has been done on ardiuno uno boards with this style motor
I can see the fb frontpage but nothing else without a fb account.
Regarding feedback you will need extra hardware e.g potentiometer or 2 stop switches ...
servo simplifies a lot
A continuous servo, dc motor with h bdrige or a servo behavior dos not change if you use an EZB, arduino, PIC or another micro contoller.
the difference between a regular servo and continous servo is the potentiometer one has the other not.
Two stop switches both sides can provide feedback, two states run one side then stop.
o ok so i would have to use the potentiometer in order to make it stop, i looked those up a while back but was hoping i wouldnt have to use them with these motors. thanks for your responses. ill have to learn how to hook up use the potentiometer i guess
If your design is custom to incorporate that motor - i would recommend simply taking the guts out of a servo and making that work. A servo contains everything that you already need to fill the shortcoming of the product posted.
Use a servo or the guts of a servo.
