Description:
Works just like the Parallax Servo Controller (serial) and on all the same platforms, but with USB port and capabilities instead of a Serial port. Commands available on the serial product page, until the USB doc is updated: sorry for the inconvenience at this time.
With the proliferation of servos used in technology today comes the obligation to manage multiple servos each executing complex motions. The original Parallax Servo Controller (#28023) was designed to remove the burden of driving the servo pulses from the controller and thereby expand the number of servos that one controller could be expected to control. To that end the original PSC was quite successful, but for some of the more complex applications writing a textual program to control many servos executing compounded motions and actions can be tedious to say the least.
One way to make the whole application development process easier is to change the primary interface from a keyboard (text-based code) to that of a mouse (visual based program). By adding a USB port to the servo controller and providing the user with a free graphical user interface, a direct link between mouse and servo is made. Move the mouse, the servo moves in real-time. Now the task of developing a program to control intricate servo sequences becomes a palatable fun process.
The PSC documentation shows you how to use all of the above features and provides sample BASIC Stamp Code. The Parallax Servo Controller ships with the following to make your set up as easy as possible: Shunt-Jumper, 3-Conductor Cable, Printed Documentation. The PSC is mounted using 4-40 screws (or equivalent, not included).
