Hi...<br />I wonder to know..whether this board could be used also to replace RCB-1, since KHR-1 requires 17 servos control and this board only provides 12 servos pwm control.<br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ryann2k1<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=384">ryann2k1</a> — Sun Apr 08, 2007 3:39 am</p><hr />

i wonder if it can read the position feedback from the servos.<br />this involves changing the ports from pwm-write to to pwm-read.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=2">limor</a> — Fri Apr 06, 2007 7:41 pm</p><hr />

Very nice, as I see it there are 3 options for people.<br /><br />1 - keep the RCB 3/J boards in place and use the robot as is, with little opportunity for sensors/autonomy but a reasonable piece of software to allow good control via a remote control.<br /><br />2 - replace with the Lynxmotion SSC-32, gives most of the functionality of the RCB but also allows control; from an external microprocessor/PC<br /><br />3 - use the Servopod. This is completely open for development, but you'll have to start from scratch and develop software for the lower control functions as well as the higher level functions.<br /><br />Many choices<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=532">Orac</a> — Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:49 pm</p><hr />
