Servo controllers

Hi All,

Once again the great folks at Parallax came to the rescue with my HexCrawler project. I needed some servo controller boards, (both models of which are now retired), and Andy in the tech department just sent me a couple. And I am not even that good of a customer. You can bet that after the holiday, I am going to order a bunch of sensors and accessories for my 'bot!

I am just wondering, is Parallax designing a new servo board?

Thank you Parallax for being such a great company! (And yes, I will start learning the Propeller post haste...)

Best of the season to all,

Merry Christmas!!!

Joe

    Wow, that's great.

    There was some discussion a while back about a Propeller servo controller.

    I personally think a Propeller Project board with some headers soldered on it would make a great servo controller.

    For both my 32-servo demo and my popsicle stick hexapod, I used a QuickStart board as a servo controller.

    I'm using a Propeller Proto Board to control the 18 servos on the little hexapod Paul K gave me.

    It seems like there's often need for more than just servos in a project so my preference would be to use a general purpose board like the Project board than to use a dedicated servo control board.
