Servo testers are useful devices to have on hand, allowing one to quickly check a given part for proper operation. However, cheaper models can be quite limited, and may not output signals suitable for ...

When we need actuators for a project, a servo from the remote-control hobby world is a popular solution. Though as the number of servos go up, keeping their wires neat and managing their control ...

Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as any other servo tester, the difference is that it can be programmed to do ...

Brushless servomotors let a maker of plasma and oxyfuel cutters cut intricate designs in metal. The machines coming out of Dynatorch Inc. in Paducah, Ky., are capable of such detailed work that they ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC. In the process of making this circuit, we'll make a pcb design for it. This ...

AC servo systems have long been the workhorses of industrial automation, but it's time to start thinking of them as thoroughbreds. Thanks to ongoing advances in control algorithms and processing power ...

One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when designing any type of motion control process is choosing the motor. Getting the right motor, both in terms of type and size, is imperative to ...
