I’m designing something where I need two micro servos mimicking each others movement from an outside source.
Example: User manually rotates servo 1 then through a wireless connection servo 2 copies the movement (rotation) of servo 1.
Servos powered by a 9v, two AA or AAA batteries.
I have done some research and I think theses items will work but I’m not 100% sure. This page will only allow me to put two links in the post. I have the other links to send upon request.
Correct - you cannot read the position of a standard rc servo without modifying it. You just have to solder wires to the pot inside, but normally the servo provides no feedback.
Why does the input side need to be a servo at all? Why not just use a potentiometer (or rotary encoder if you want to be fancy)?
I was told analog servos with feedback would be the best choice however it doesn’t matter as long as I can get the project finished. Anyone interested in doing this?
I would not want to modify a servo to do this as I do not think that is necessary. If you can settle for a servo tracking a potentiometer, I can show you how to do that in a matter of minutes.
I’m looking for someone to do this as I’m not tech savy. I heard there was a tech shop in Austin. Do you happen to know the name or how to get in touch with someone who can build this?
