Basic stamp compatible, high power servos available?
Hello.
I'm unsure about the exact location of this thread, but as I intend to use it with basic stamp, I think, this is the correct place.
I'm doing some semirobotic machinery device, and one of the tasks is, to rotate massive platform (weight with load about 40kg) around it's axis for about 320 degrees in less than 2 second time. Are there any protocol compatible servos, which can do a such load, and are also compatible with basic stamp? I know, I'll need some kind of driver, but this is not a hard task.

Of course, you could make a beefy one using a gearmotor and a pot to monitor position. You can build a fancy FET/MOSFET controller or use simple relays, depending on how you want to do it.
Those aren't fast enough. He wants it to do nearly a full rotation in less than two seconds.

The platform itself is mounted on the circular ball gearing, so all what motor needs to do, is just to rotate the platform. I've attached adjustable torque wrench just to determine, what amount of force is needed to start platform moving. It was about 40 lbs/in. I'm unsure, how to convert this measurement to wattage of motor.
