Some Idea For The Jd Servo Wires

hi all

i painted some ez robots and i got an idea to make ez robots look, way better with all the wires.i dont know if there's a reason why, the wires are so long.the servo wires from D0/D1/D2/D3/D12/D16 can be reduce atleast with 10 to 13 centimeters,that alot of wires less. the servo wires from D4/D7 can reduce with some 4 cm.

any ideas on this?

Servo wires are standard length for a reason I thin. From a manufacturing standpoint I can certainly see where it would not make for a good practice to customize wire length because then you could not easily swap your servos around, right?

Some times you need extensions on your cables to lengthen the servo cables from the standard length. Which is why they make and sell servo cable extension.

Other times when you want the cable to be shorter most people (like myself anyway) bundle the cable up and zip tie the extra length out of the way to manage the extra cable length if it is in the way.

In the case of JD I believe he now ships with cable management or cable wraps to help wrap up the extra cables.

your first sugestion is good.i didn think of that.what about servo train like, the mecanoid robot has ? for the ez HDD servo's.

Standard servos do not daisy chain like the servos of Mechanoid because those are special. The wires are not just connected that way for convenience, they are addressable down the chain but only because they have have extra hardware to handle such addressing and signaling.

could one port excample D1 handle many servo's?

Patrick, I really think you already know the answer is no. You can not daisy chain the EZ-robot servos and control them from one port.

The ezb can draw 19volts.two servo per port is that possible,?

Two servo port what Patrick? What do you think you will do with only two ports on JD? Do you think you have a way to control all of JD's servos from two ports on the EZB and thus limit the amount of wires needs? By all means, explain that idea further.

Just asking cause how does a bioloid do this?
