Servo Trigger Hookup Guide
Introduction
The Servo Trigger is a small board that helps you deploy hobby RC servo
motors. When an external switch or logic signal changes state, the Servo
Trigger tells an attached servo motor to move from position A to position B.
The Servo Trigger in action.
To use the Servo Trigger, you simply connect a hobby servo and a switch,
then use the onboard potentiometers to adjust the start/stop positions and
transition time. You can use a hobby servos in your projects without having
to do any programming!
In This Tutorial
This hookup guide starts with some background information about hobby
servo motors. From there, it jumps into getting the Servo Trigger working
with a small servo, then examines some of the inner workings. Finally, for
the adventurous, it explains how to customize the Servo Trigger by
reprogramming it.
