Set ServoMotor Endpoints
These two commands are used to set the endpoints for the two ServoMotor outputs.
By adjusting the endpoints, you can set how far the horn of your ServoMotor will rotate.
These commands will bring up the following menu:
Use the ʻ1ʼ, ʻ4ʼ and ʻ7ʼ keys to adjust the minimum position the ServoMotor will ever
go to. This will automatically force the output to the ʻzeroʼ position, and you can adjust
the ServoMotor to the spot where you would like to to be when fully retracted.
Use the ʻ2ʼ, ʻ5ʼ and ʻ8ʼ keys to adjust the maximum for the ServoMotor. This will
automatically force the output to the ʻfull scaleʼ position, and you can adjust the Servo-
Motor to the spot where you would like to to to be when fully extended.
You can then use the ʻ3ʼ, ʻ6ʼ and ʻ9ʼ keys to move the ServoMotor over the full range
of motion that will be available from the ServoMotor.
When you are satisfied with your adjustments, just hit the
key. If you donʼt want to save your settings, hit the
values.
Typical RC radio rigs limit the pulses sent to the ServoMotors so that they have a
maximum travel of only about 90º. These are the default endpoint settings for the Ser-
voMotor travel in the on the Br-miniBrick8. The Br-miniBrick8 will allow you to adjust
the pulses sent to the ServoMotors to a point beyond which most ServoMotors will fol-
low. Most ServoMotors will go up as far as a 180º of movement. If your ServoMotor
starts to jitter, or looses all of its strength, then the pulse is probably set too long or too
short for the ServoMotor to follow.
