Hi all<br /><br />We're pleased to announce a <span style="color: green">new Arduino MEGA compatible board designed to control up to 42 PWM servos</span>: the <a href="http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/1574" class="postlink">DAGU 48 Servo Red Back Spider Controller</a><br /><br /><a href="http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/1574" class="postlink"><img src="http://robosavvy.com/store/images/Red_Back_Spider2_800.jpg.thumb_400x268.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />The board comes populated with 48 connectors for servos (these are 3 pin connectors with 5V Power, GND and Signal). As most mini and stabdard servos operate at 4.2-6V you can conviniently connect your servos directly to the board without the need for any extra circuitry.<br /><br />The board is based on Arduino MEGA (ATMEGA 1280) and is compatible with Arduino MEGA shields.<br /><br /><div class='bbmedia' data-url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQN42dEiugk?fs=1&amp;hl=pt_BR' style='margin: 1px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom;'><div style='width: 200px; height: 40px; border: 1px solid #999; display: table-cell; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font: 10px/10px Verdana; color: #555; opacity: 0.5;'><a style='color: #105289; text-decoration: none;' href='http://phpbbex.com/' target='_blank'>phpBB</a> &#91;media&#93;</div><script>if (typeof bbmedia == 'undefined') { bbmedia = true; var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true; e.src = 'js/bbmedia.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s); }</script></div><br />In this video you can see the board controlling 48 micro servos simultaneously.<br /><br />If you need to drive High power Servos, a <span style="font-weight: bold">High power Arduino Shield </span> is optionally available from DAGU. The shield breaks out the PWM pins and offers an external power input which will power specifically the servos.<br /><br />We're also pairing the board with the latest Rovers we have in our store:<br />- Dagu - Rover 5 Arduino Kit (4 motors and 4 encoders) <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/1575">http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... ts_id/1575</a><!-- m --><br />(a 2 motors/2 encoder version will also be available shortly)<br /><br />- Dagu - 4 Channel DC Motor Controller with Encoder Support - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/1573">http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... ts_id/1573</a><!-- m --><br /><br />Check our store (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://robosavvy.com/store">http://robosavvy.com/store</a><!-- m -->) for our latest product packs.<br /><br />Regards<br />Pedro.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://forum.robosavvy.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=1061">PedroR</a> — Fri Apr 29, 2011 5:19 pm</p><hr />
