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?
Patrick, you own a bioloid robot don't you? You also own a Mechanoid robot.
Do you think the bioloid servos and the Mechanoid servo and the EZ-Robot servos are all the same? - They are not.
Look are your Mechanoid servo, it has an input cable (3 wires - 1 for signal and 2 for power) and from it's butt is a pig tail output cable (again 3 wires - 1 for signals and 2 for power). The mechanoid servo is "special" because it has extra circuitry to allow them to be daisy chained but still individually addressable and controllable.
Now look are your bioloid servo. They should have 2 different 3 pin ports on them, don't they? Can you guess what they are for? One is for incoming signals and the other is outgoing signals to allow other bioloid Dynamixel servos to be daisy chained. Again, the dynamixel servos are "special" because they have extra circuitry to allow them to be daisy chained but still individually addressable and controllable.
Now look are your EZ-Robot servo. It's a standard servo. It does not have a pig tail coming out of it's butt or an extra port and this it not an oversight it's because "standard" servos do not have extra circuity to allow them to be daisy chained and addressable.
Standard servos like the EZ-Robot servos need a dedicated signal from the controller going to them. If you connect two servos to the same signal port of the EZB controller you will command the servos to the same thing because they are not addressable.
justin thanks for explaning.just one question.when i connect two ez servo,s to one port,wil that damage my ezbv4?
Not even an appropriate question to ask. He already explained it won't work, and it is not how they are designed. Trying to predict what could happen when you do something wrong is just a waste of time.
If you want a simple answer to prevent you from doing something that won't and can't work, then sure... Doing that will cause your EZ-B to explode in a ball of flame from which you will likely not survive.... Or it will pop the fuse, or it will do nothing at all, but it won't work, so don't do it.

hi alan
so an ezbv can exploot.thats a scary thougt..got it thanks
No, it can't. I was jsut making a point that we can only tell you how things should work when you use them correctly. We can't predict what will happen when you use it wrong.
Alan
thats why i always ask.many question cause language barriere. i am always happy with the patients all members have with me. thank you alan
@nomad If only it was a language barrier the reason for the asinine questions... Well you did manage to frustrate @Alan which until now I thought was impossible...
RR
i dont understand the word asinine.
ALAN my apollegies to you,didn mean to make you feel bad.
