HB-25 motor controller with VEX

Technic-R-C

Hello

I have a question about the HB-25 motor controller.· Can you program this controller in C and not PBASIC?· I would like to incorporate this controller with the VEX robotics system, but I am not sure how to do this.· Would this be possible?· Do you guys have a sample C code for this controller?·All input is much appreciated.

Communication with the HB-25 is the same as communicating with a Servo. If you have VEX code for doing that, then, respecting the limits of the HB-25 input, you should be able to get it to work with the HB-25 quite easily.

You really should figure out which forum is best for your post and then post in only one forum. Posting in more than one forum only complicates things.

To add to what Paul said, the HB-25 responds to servo pulse and responds the same way that a continuous rotation servo would, except using DC Motors. The HB-25 itself is not programmable. It is up to the host controller to provide the correct 1 ms – 2 ms pulses. Take care.

Technic-R-C,

There was a thread a while back, that you might be interested in. There is a software solution, as well as a complete hardware solution (<-read no programming required) discussed in this thread....
