USB IOcards

Featured Replies

Ok, so IOCards USB-servo and USB-stepper are stand alone cards.I read the servo can only do 180

You can use gears for more degrees in USBServos card, or use USBStepper card for continous 360 degrees gauges.

Hmm--- always can be gearedOr use stepperes as alternative

So any of you know .. are there servo's that have gearing inside already ? So they can do almost 360

I am scouting for sutable servo's. I found some at conrad.Would these be sutable ? And it sais 60

To compare .. the PDF I linked is to one which costs

Anyone knows if e.g. you want a virtical speed gauge on both sides .. is it possible to get 2 servo's wired to 1 output of the card so that both read the exact same ?

I have never done it, but it should work. Another solution is to use 2 outputs on the servo card, and feed them from same variable in SIOC. Then both servos will turn exact same

I know the output will be exact equal. But when wiring 2 servo's to 1 output obviously one saves an output. If done for enough gauges, you'd even save a card.

Hi there Philippe,>I'll get an e-mail underway to this guy asking if it's the>interface card, the servo's or the software which make it have>such unsmooth movements.If you watch the video a couple of times I think you will find that it is the unsmooth movements of the levers that is being replicated by the servo dials. A clue comes if you do not watch the levers but the dials whilst listening to the clicks. The clicks produced by the moving levers are not evenly spaced. Other videos I have seen of IOCards servo use have been smooth.You could always use the SIOC Timer function to buffer and smooth throttle movements from the current engine rpm, mp etc to the required new value commanded.The Porcupineaka Simon Webbwww.desktopflying.co.uk (update overdue)Very slowely putting together a generic twin desktop unit.

So you suspect that in this video his input of the levers is directly send to the servo's ? That could indeed have such a result.http://www.baron58.com/Servo_Calc.htmTurs out he doesn't. Then where's the glitch ?

Just went to a local shop.Bought a servo for

Not being turbine engines, I think, the engines are responding to the throttles like the engine in your car does, very quickly. A turbine engine on the other hand takes a little while to spool up to required rpm. Listen again to the video and you will notice the clicks do not go:-click-click-click-click-click like a smooth lever progression but more like click-click-slight pause-click-slight pause-click-click.The Porcupineaka Simon Webbwww.desktopflying.co.uk (update needed)Very slowely putting together a generic twin desktop unit.
