Hello,
Is there anybody has tried any sensors or others with wCK external I/O port? I think this function is also one of the good things in wCK module. But never saw it.
Just wondered~~

Hi
If you look back on the forum you will see there has been an experiment with this.
The ports are there and they do work. I think the main reaosn why you don't see this very often is because soldering the necessary wires of the sensor on the servo is very tricky.
In any case, this has been tried and you can get the readings of the Analog prot using the wCK protocol.
As for the 2 DIO ports they can also be set to 0 or 1 using the wCK port. On transparent servos these 2 DIO ports are ocupied by the LEDs. Setting their signal to 1 turns on the LED.
