Parallax Servo Controller (#28023) – Rev B
16-Channel Servo Control with Ramping
Introduction
Robots, robots, robots; and, the bigger they get, the more servos and I/O are required to enable them to
fulfill their duties. The Parallax Servo Controller, PSC, controls up to 16 servos, and may be networked
together so that two PSCs can control 32 servos using a single I/O line.
The PSC manages all of the servo pulses so your host controller doesn’t have to. Additionally, the
ramping function allows you to individually set the speed of each servo. With ramping, you can tell the
servo where to go, and just how fast to get there. The result is true, “set-it and forget-it” functionality.
Packing List
Verify that your Parallax Servo Controller is complete in accordance with the list below:
Features
Before You Begin
The processor used on the PSC requires a supply 5 VDC. Use a separate power supply for
your servos. In general, servos require 4-7.5 VDC. Be sure that the servo power source can
supply ample current at the proper voltage and will not damage the servos.
