Examples

Please note that the servo motor template and child components require the Servo Controller component to control them.

Controlling a servo with an analogue input

This example reads the value of the analogue potentiometer and uses this to set the position of the servo motor. Servo Example 1 The Servo controller is linked to the standard servo component but this could be linked to any object on the panel.

Creating a multi-axis actuator using servo motors

This example links two servo motors together using panel primitive objects and groups. Servo Example 2 The Servo controller can handle up to 8 motors and is used to control both of the standard servo components on the panel.

Property reference

	Properties
	Link To...
Select a panel object here to connect it 'mechanically' to the servo's actuator. The selected object will now be moved whenever the servo position changes. NB) To move multiple objects, first group the objects, and then select the group.
	Reverse Output
Some manufacturers motors may rotate in different ways to others. Changing this property allows you to flip the direction of the motor.
