Examples

Example showing how to control three servos using AutoMoveToPosion, MoveTopposition & SetPosition component macros.
FC6 Icon.png Controlling Servos Example.fcfx

Example using BL0162 Servo controller for BL0055 Arduino Shield

Samples the Port D8-D13 (portB) switches and moves the servo motors based on the input states.

D8 increments motor 0, D9 decrements motor on channel 0.

D10 increments motor 1, D11 decrements motor on channel 1.

D12 increments motor 3, D13 decrements motor on channel 2.

Connections:

Servo Board Port D0-D2.

Switch Board Port D8 - D13

LCD A0 to A5 (PortC)
