Shield-Servo
1.1 System Overview
Shield-Servo is the enhanced version from SC08A. One of the additional features for
Shield-Servo compare to SC08A is the onboard voltage regulator and UC00A/UC00C interface
for easier UART communication or connect directly to SKXBee. UART is provided in
Shield-Servo for easier communication between user’s circuit (microcontroller/Arduino) and
Shield-Servo.
By using UART function on Shield-Servo, user is able to have more extensive control of the
Servo driver and Servo motor. User can leave most part of the Servo control algorithm to
Shield-Servo. It saves much software resources on the host.
For example by sending some commands, Shield-Servo is able to move the Servo motor with
desired speed. While the Servo motor is rotating, the host may take care of other routines. In order
to know the Servo motor has been accelerated to the final position, the host can send another
command to check the status of Shield-Servo.
Please refer to
, Shield-Servo UART Protocol for the UART commands and
descriptions.
