Phidget Advanced Servo Controller
(like the 1061 and 1066)
This element allows you access
to a Phidget AdvancedServo Controller device.
- The PhidgetAdvancedServo 8-Motor (1061) 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. 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 PhidgetAdvancedServo 1-Motor (1066) allows you to control the
position, velocity, and acceleration of one RC servo motor. The 1066 is
powered solely by the USB cable – no additional power source is
required. The 1066 has a high resolution of 125 steps per degree;
it measures the power consumption of the servo, and powers servo motors
of up to 450mA. The AdvancedServo connects directly to a
computer’s USB port.
With this element, you can
access to the module directly (with the
serial number) or through the network, using the WebService of the
phidget's driver
in a remote computer with the phidget AdvancedServo Controler
connected (here, you need the IP, port and password too).
Usage
To use any Phidget element,
drag an drop its icon to the list of
model elements of your model. Then, edit the connection parameters and
invoke phidget.connect()
in your code.
All methods returning a
boolean will return true
on
successful completion of the command, false
otherwise. Methods
returning a double value will return Double.NaN
if there is any
error when connecting to the phidget.
Available method for this
particular phidgets include:
- public boolean connect();
// establish the connection. Returns true if successful
....TODO
Example of use
// Init the module
myAdvancedServo.connect();
