Phidget Servo Motor Hardware Setup
In this tutorial we control Phidget Servo Motor using TQL Queries. The PhidgetAdvancedServo 8-Motor allows you to control the position, velocity, and acceleration of up to 8 RC servo motors. It requires a 6-15VDC external power supply; its switching power supply allows the 1061 to efficiently operate from 6 to 15 VDC and can be used with a wide range of batteries. All our power supplies can be used with the 1061.
The 1061 has a high resolution of 125 steps per degree; it measures the power consumption of each servo and its switching regulator protects the motors from overvoltage. It powers servo motors of up to 3.4 Amps.
The 1061 continuously measures the current consumed by each motor with an accuracy of ±10%.
The AdvancedServo connects directly to a computer's USB port.

  1. 3000_1 - Hitec HS-422 Deluxe Servo: The HS-422 is one of the most durable and reliable servos Hitec has ever offered. With its dual iron-oilite bushings, high impact resin gear train and high performance circuitry, the HS-422 features excellent centering and resolution. RC servos are hobbyist remote control servos typically used mostly in radio-controlled models, where they provide actuation for various mechanical systems such as the steering of a car, the flaps on a plane, or the rudder of a boat. These servos are not industrial grade and are not recommended for continuous heavy use
