I'm doing a thing for my spouse's uncle. He's a #truck #modelist and needs an automatic gate that opens when a truck approaches. I used an #ldr to move some #servos when the truck cuts the light line.
Trying to keep it minimal using an #attiny85
Testing a couple of #servos with the #signalgenerator to understand how to drive them without the #Servo #Arduino library.

It's really simple: it's just a 100Hz PWM signal with duty cycle between 4% and 26%.

I mapped the following positions:
0° -> 7,2% (74)
90° -> 16,2% (166)
180° -> 25,4% (260)

Building A Little Quadruped Robot

Robots don’t have to be large and imposing to be impressive. As this tiny quadruped from [Dorian Todd] demonstrates, some simple electronics and a few servos can create something altogether c…

These are servo drives from shut-down russian Shaheds. One Ukrainian ground drone manufacturer is reusing these salvaged components in their drones. Now that’s some next-level “recycling”! ♻️

Last one for tonight. Before you can program, ya gotta center and get rom on all the servos.

All centered and start programming tomorrow

Time to re-reinvent the wheel..

Ive conquered this a couple times but Im bad about saving stuff so maybe one more time for good.. heres the problem..
I wanna move some #servos with a joystick.

Servos move from 0-180

#Pygame for joystick returns -1 to +1 like .03 or -.6

I need to map the joystick to the #servo so as it moves from -1 (say left) to +1 (say right) the servo moves from 0 to 180.

I think I got a new idea on this.. more to come..

It's freebie Friday!!

Do you need a snap-in mount for #SG90 or #MG90S micro #servos? I've made #Tinkercad models of both the servos and the mounts. They're slightly different so I labelled each of them! https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2VSlNpk7eVG-micro-servos-and-snap-in-mounts

Ok.. next on the #robotic project is the drudgery of setting limits and centering the #servos. After that I'll mix in some of the voice stuff from yesterday.. but first...

Someone needs to put a ' servo every hour ' bot out there... For #servos.
