Does anybody have a link or a suggestion as to what AC Power supply I could use with over 20 large Servos? Also if I wanted to use external battery what size and AMPs.
I'm currently using a 12V AD to DC with 1.25 amp power supply. When running the EZB program ( auto position) running 10 large servo, it works for about 3 times then seems to not move the servos. I unplug the power supply and reconnect it and it works for about 3 servo moves.
Any help would be appreciated.
If I us just a 12VDC battery with high amps can I connect it directly to the EZB too?
Thank you, d.cochran and robot-doc.
I think I will get a servo power board to power my servos. But now I just blow 199 or so bucks. *stress*
The v4 can handle more that 12 volts. Did you connect it backwards? I have connected multiple v4's to 12 volts multiple times without an issue.
Reset button no help.
And now it make sense since the D0 thru D24 port are basically passive/Unregulated Power. I will update once I find out what I did wrong.
Thanks all. *tired*
First check the servos and anything else which connects to the EZ-B can handle the 12V DC you are supplying them.
Then check each item one by one until you find the item which causes the EZ-B to go dead.
i think the ezd is ok.
thanks all
Here's how I am powering the robot.
I have 2 - 6 volt 12 amp hour batteries connected together in parallel, the power from the batteries go to a main bus bar. All of the servo power + & - wires are connected to the bus bar. All of the servo signal wires are connected to the EZBv4.
A ground wire is connected from the battery power supply to the ground pin on the EZB. I am also powering the EZBv4 from the batteries. There is an on/off switch between the batteries to the servo's and one between the EZBv4. This way the controller can be turned on and connected before powering up the servo's.
This type of set up works great and provides lots of power all 24 servo's in my InMoov.
I hope this helps.
Slightly off topic, just wondering if you have any easy method to recharge them? Or do you have to disconnect them and charge them one at a time?
