BS2 servo control that mimics pot turning

Let's Go!

Can anyone point me in the direction of this code and/or schematic.I.E. if the pot turns left the servo follows, and visa versa.

Thanks,

Jim

I doubt it's what you really want, but there are servo testers which let you adjust the servo position with a knob.



Just $1.75 shipped.

Of course with the ebay version you don't learn as much. But if all you want to do is control a servo with a knob, it's the way to go.

erco has convinced me it's a good idea to keep a couple of these on hand. I have several now but I still use the one erco gave me the most.

I have built this one by Conrad;

Per Duane, servo testers are a dime a dozen. Certainly a worthy project for your BS2 education (a BS1 is also up to the task) but a waste of a processor IMHO if you intend to leave it together permanently. If you want a forever tester for your bench (and you should), then order one of the $1.75 units Duane linked to.

Alternatively, build a dedicated hardware type using a cheap 555 timer. Google "servo tester circuit" and you'll find a gallimaufry of schematics to choose from. Here's one minimalist unit: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=275749

Yes, I said gallimaufry.

Go to your room!
And no blow-torches.

I have a surfeit of flamethrowers in my room, PJ.

Would you say you have a plethora of flamethrowers?

One might even postulate a phalanx of phalamethrowers.

Thanks to all. You all solved the problem, circuit boards made, and it works like a charm. this idea has many applications!

I don't suppose you want to give us some more info about your boards?

It's always fun to see what other people make. What did you make and what's the application?

many applications!
