However just because normal servos can't be daisy chained it doesn't mean they're useless. It would be trivial to build a small piece of electronics that sits on a daisy-chained bus and controls 1-4 (or even more) servos based upon bus commands.
It just depends on how much you want to do. If you want something off the shelf you can't do much better than the Robotis servos. Their expensive servos are amazing, but of course expensive. Their entry level servo (the AX-12+) is comparable to the HiTec servo, slightly cheaper and with better feedback. It natively supports a 1Mbit TTL level half-duplex bus which is perfectly adequate for domestic purposes.Statistics: Posted by StuartL — Thu May 15, 2008 3:34 pm
