Connecting A Circuitboard To An Ezbv4

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Is it possible to connect this board with an EZ-B v4 or IoTiny, using it as an access point for connecting servos?

Here is the link to the board I am referring to: Servo V2 Bricklet

Yes, it is possible to connect various servo control boards to the EZ-B v4 or IoTiny to control servos. However, the specific board you mentioned, the servo V2 Bricklet, is not directly supported by Synthiam ARC. Instead, you can use the supported servo control boards and methods provided by Synthiam.

For the servo control boards you mentioned (LewanSoul, UBTECH Alpha, and Feetech Serial Bus), you can connect them to the EZ-B v4 or IoTiny using the UART ports. Here’s a brief overview of how to connect each of these boards to the EZ-B v4:

1. LewanSoul Servo

  • Connection: Connect the RX signal wire of the LewanSoul servo to the TX of the selected UART or digital port on the EZ-B v4.
  • Configuration: Use the LewanSoul servo skill in ARC to configure the virtual ports (Vx) to match the servo IDs.
  • Details: LewanSoul servo Skill

2. UBTECH Alpha Servos UBT-12HC

  • Connection: Connect the RX signal wire of the UBTECH Alpha servo to the TX of the selected UART or digital port on the EZ-B v4.
  • Configuration: Use the UBTECH Alpha Servos skill in ARC to configure the virtual ports (Vx) to match the servo IDs.
  • Details: UBTECH Alpha Servos Skill

3. Feetech Serial Bus Servo

  • Connection: Connect the Feetech serial bus servos to the UART ports on the EZ-B v4. You can use a USB Feetech servo controller that creates a COM port on the PC.
  • Configuration: Use the Feetech Serial Bus servo skill in ARC to configure the virtual ports (Vx) to match the servo IDs.
  • Details: Feetech Serial Bus servo Skill

General Steps to Connect and Configure:

  1. Connect the Servos: Connect the servos to the appropriate UART ports on the EZ-B v4. Ensure the RX of the servo is connected to the TX of the EZ-B v4.
  2. Add the Robot Skill: In ARC, go to Project -> Add Control -> servo and select the appropriate servo skill (LewanSoul, UBTECH Alpha, or Feetech).
  3. Configure the Skill: Open the configuration menu of the added skill and set the virtual ports (Vx) to match the servo IDs.
  4. Test the Servos: Use the servo control skills in ARC to test and control the servos.

Example for LewanSoul Servo:

  1. Connect: Connect the RX signal wire of the LewanSoul servo to the TX of the selected UART on the EZ-B v4.
  2. Add Skill: In ARC, add the LewanSoul servo skill.
  3. Configure: Open the configuration menu and set the virtual ports (Vx) to match the servo IDs.
  4. Test: Use the servo control interface in ARC to move the servos.

For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the respective skill documentation provided in the links above. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!
