Servo Checker
Servo Tester Info

This small board will be found invaluable for projects and models using R/C type servos.

Test and calibrate hobbyist "R/C - Radio Control" type servos.
- Manual and Automatic Modes
- Variable speed 90 degree sweep facility
- Stand alone servo sweep function for animations
- 0 and 90 degree calibration LED Light (1ms and 2ms pulse widths check)
- Calibration LED light every 15 degrees

In Automatic mode, Servo-Check produces a pulse stream that makes the servo traverse smoothly through 90 degree at a speed determined by the potentiometer setting (approx 0.5 to 5 secs / 90 degree ).

Advanced users can add 2 standard 10k linear potentiometers to adjust the end stops for a simple, stand-alone animatronic controller module.

In Manual mode, the servo position is fully adjustable from 0 to 90 degrees by using the thumbwheel. Manual mode generates a standard servo pulse stream. The width of the pulses varies between 1.0msecs and 2.0 msecs depending on the position of the potentiometer. Turning the potentiometer fully to either end of its travel will cause the LED to light indicating that either a 1.0 or 2.0 pulse width which should correspond with a servo angle of either 0 or 90 degrees. Additionally, as the potentiometer is turned, the LED will light at positions corresponding to15, 30, 45, 60 degrees and 75 degrees , thereby providing a field calibration setup.

Works from standard 5-6 VDC supply and includes 3-pin header for all standard servos.

Controller Instructions

Unique Controller Board will record separately to 3 memory EEproms (12.5 minutes each user designed routines) and playback the 3 different programmed servo routines to one standard hobby R/C type servo when each seperate routine is activated. The 3 different servo control routines are recorded into memory storage by the user. Programmed routines are then played back to servo by selecting 1-3 manual switches, to playback each routine or selecting sequence mode to play back all three rountines in sequence 1-3 when loop triggered.

On board recorded servo routines can each be activated in manual mode, by a switch, remote relays or even by wireless hand held control. On board looping playback feature can let board run automatically in sequence.

Program recording sessions are built up on a channel-by-channel process - no complex programming is required. Programming is very easily done, with a set of switches, LED's and a servo position control potentiometer built onto the board.
No host computer or other programming device is ever needed to operate the board. Board is triggered by manual switches, remote relays or even by wireless hand held control for playback.

Optional EEprom Copy Board, allows the user pre-recorded programs to be copied and duplicated. Great option for doing multiple projects using the same controller and same pre programmed servo routines without having to program every controller board.

Power supply, eternal devices not included

This board was designed to output either 0 ­ 5VDC or 0 ­ 10VDC at up to 80 mA using input from an R/C servo signal as the control.

Up to 4 outputs can be individually controlled. The output ranges for each channel are selected by placing or removing a jumper on the Voltage Range Jumper header block. If the jumper is in place, the output for that channel will be 0-5V. If it is removed, the output for that channel will be 0 ­ 10V. You can have any combination or outputs that you want.

The R/C input signals should range from 1-mS to 2-mS. (Standard R/C Servo PWM Signal) the PWM output of a 1-mS signal will result in an output of 0Vdc. The PWM output of a 2-mS signal will result in either a 5 or a 10Vdc output depending on the placement of the Voltage Range Jumpers. Any PWM signal between 1-mS through 2-mS will result in a voltage range between 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc.

You can combine the 4-Ch Analog Converter Board with a Wizard-1 Controller to set-up a programmable voltage output controller. This unique combination of boards allows for a variety of applications to be created. One major application, is the set-up of a low cost programmable Solid State AC Dimmer system for lighting effects,

Note: Max 80 mA load at 0-10 Vdc or 0-5 Vdc
Board requires a 12 Vdc @ 900 mA power supply

(Power Supply, Servo Output Board, Jumper Wires, Not included)

This board was designed to output either 0 ­ 5V or 0 ­ 10V at up to 80 mA using input from a single servo signal or a remote potentiometer (slide or rotary). The input source and the voltage range is selected with small slide switches located on the board.

Operation:
Attach power (12V 500 mA min) to the board at either the 2.1 mm barrel power connector or the 2-position terminal block adjacent to it. If using a servo signal for control, attach your servo input to the 3-pin Servo Input header. The white (or yellow) wire for the input should be on the pin furthest from the edge of the board. If you are using a servo signal to control the output, switch the Input Select Switch to the "S" position (Servo). If using one of the remote potentiometers for control, attach the remote board to the main board with the 3' ribbon cable and switch the Input Select Switch to the "P" position (Pot). Switch the Output Selection Switch to the range that you want, 0 ­ 5V or 0 ­ 10V. These switches can be changed at any time. Attach your loads to the outputs. Observe the polarity and make sure that they will not draw more than 80 mA. Turn on power to the board. The red Board Power LED will light on the Main Board and the Remote Pot Board (if attached). The output will now respond to the Servo or Pot input signal.

This board allows the user to simultaneously trigger 1-3 solid state relays after a random interval has expired. The random time interval can be limited to any time within 1 second to 15 minutes. The random time interval starts when a dry contact closure occurs at the Trigger 1 terminal block.
When the random time interval has expired, 1-3 relays activate. The time that each relay is activated is programmed in by the user and can be anywhere between 1 second and 15 minutes.
When the last relay has shut off, the user has the option of looping this procedure after a programmed delay period of 0-15 minutes. When the delay period expires, the board picks a new random delay period between one second and the maximum value programmed in by the user and the cycle repeats until the Menu button is pressed or power to the board is reset. At any time during the random time interval, the user can activate Trigger Terminal, T2 which will cause the board to immediately jump out of the random time interval and activates 1-3 relays.

Solid-State Relays rated 12Vdc @ 1 Amp each

Requires power supply ranging from 7.5V to 24V DC at 100 mA.
Servo motors , Power supply - Not included.

Description:
This unique 2 board setup was designed to allow the user to select and control 1 of 12 Solid State 2 Amp Relays using 3 inputs. When the process is started, the 12 channels are cycled through one at a time at a rate of 1 per second to 1 per 3 minutes. This rate is controlled by an on-board potentiometer on the Main board. Once the desired channel is indicated, and a second switch is activated, the scanning can stop and the associated relay can be activated by a third switch. All switch inputs are dry contact, normally open terminals to which a contact closure can be attached. When finished with the current relay, the scanning can be resumed by activating switch one again. A Remote board is attached to the Main board via a 6' ribbon cable. This board has indicators showing which of the current channel is active and when the associated SSR is activated. Control switches can be attached to either the Main board or the Remote LED status board.

Operation:
Once power is applied to the board, a green LED on both the Main board and the Remote board will come on. The board is now waiting for a contact closure at the Start terminal block. Once this is received, the board starts scanning at the rate set by the on board potentiometer. A yellow LED on the Remote board indicates which channel is currently active. When the desired channel is indicated, a contact closure at the Stop terminal block will pause the scanning. The yellow LED for the current channel will flash 3 times indicating that scanning has stopped. The user may now activate the associated SSR by dry contact closure at the Act terminal block. The board will stay on this channel until a contact closure occurs at the Start terminal block at which time the scanning will resume where it last stopped.

Application and Connection
Setup Overview

This unique board controls the movement of 4- R/C servos when applying a 12Vdc signal to the servo channel input selected. User can set the max and min servo travel position, so then when 12 Vdc is applied the servo will move directly to the max position programmed and hold as long as a 12 Vdc signal is active. As soon as the 12 Vdc signal is turned off, the servo will move to the min position programmed by the user

( Power supply, servos not included )

This board was designed to allow the manual positioning of a servo in 3 user pre-programmed positions ­ Left, Center and Right positions.
When VDC input (5-12V DC) Manual Switch, Remote relay or RF system relay closure is received at the 2 input control connectors on the board ,the servo travel is sent to that position, left, right, and center represented by the inputs. When no input is present, the servo will go to the center position and hold. Each servo position can be held at, or momentary reached and moved on.
User can pre-program each of the 3 servo end positions ( L, C, R ) which is recorded and stored on board EEprom directly through on-board electronics.

Power to the servo can be supplied by the board itself, or from an external power supply connected at the Servo Power Connector. The board power connection configuration also allows for a servo with different voltage requirements beyond 5 Vdc to be used.

The board requires 7.5 ­ 24V DC which is attached to the board at the 2.1mm barrel connector or the Alternate Power Connector.

Switch or remote relay applications require a 5-12 Vdc source pass through to controller board inputs.
The control voltage for a remote switch, remote relay can come from the on board power connector or by a separate power source.

( Power supply, servos, switch, relays, RF unit not included )

This unique board moves 2-R/C servos to user set positions 1-10 when switches 1-10 are activated

A 10 channel switch input board connected to the main controller board allow you to use manual switches or the closure of relays (Dry Contact) to move the 2 servos to 1-10 pre recorded positions.

User can set the servo positions (1-10) of each servo and then record the positions to one of the 1-10 switch input channels.
When a switch (1-10) is activated, the 2 servo will move to that position recorded and hold until the next switch is activated with the servo moving to that position.

An optional Switch Input / Solid State Relay board is also available. This board will position the 2 servos to the pre recorded position and will also turn on a Solid State Relay for the specific switch activated. The SS relays can be use to trigger a specific sound channel on an audio board, activate other control boards, trigger special effects or lighting effects, etc. The SS relays can be set to trigger for only a few mill-seconds or stay on for a period of X time, by adjusting an on-board potentiometer for the SS relay outputs,

This unique controller board set consists of 4 boards, a 4-Channel Servo Recorder with remote attached Joystick or optional Slide Potentiometer Board. A stand-alone 4-Channel Servo Playback Board and a quick connect remote extension Servo Connection Board.

The 4-Channel Servo Recorder and Joystick board will record up to 4 servo signals simultaneously and store them on individual on-board EEPROMS when activated. Up to 10 minutes of servo activity can be recorded to the EEPROM's. The mini joystick board or optional slide potentiometer board make it easy to puppet the 4 servos in smooth sync movements and start the record board for the servo actions to be recorded for later playback.

Once you have recorded your servo routine program, you then flip a switch on the Recorder Board, press a button to download all 4 servo pre programs you just created to a single 8-pin EEPROM. This EEPROM is then removed from the Recorder Board and placed on the stand-alone Playback Board. The EEPROM is on an easy to use board adapter that also has an area to write a label of what the EEPROM holds . With the easy to use EEPROM board setup, you can quickly program the same show on other multiple EEPROMs, and place them into another stand-alone Playback Board or collect different servo show routines on sets of EEPROMs, drop in these earlier pre-recorded EEPROM and have a different and new show runing on the playback board in seconds.

The Playback Board will play the servo routine back from the EEPROM whenever it is triggered by a dry contact closure, manual switch, or various sensors. There is an adjustable potentiometer on the Playback Board that will prevent the board from being re-trigger for 0 to 6 minutes after the program completes playing.

The Stand-alone Playback board also has a1-Channel Solid State Relay (2 amp) on board that will activate every time the board is triggered, There is an adjustable potentiometer on-board that lets you set the relay ON time. This relays is great for triggering other attached controller boards, MP3 sound boards or activating other effects, devices connected.

The remote extension Servo Connection Board makes it easy to connect the 4 servos to the recorder or playback board without having to un-connect and re-connect the individual servo wires as you move between recorder and playback boards. This extension board makes it easy to install a set of servos and connect to a playback board or recorder board at a different location.

The optional Slide Potentiometer board can also be used in place of the Joystick board. The slide potentiometer has 4-Ch slides that can be moved as needed up and down to position the servos. The board connects to the main logic board by an 8 foot ribbon cable.

This is a 4-Channel Programmable Relay board. The relays are Solid State relays rated at 10 Amp each. Programming is accomplished via a Programming Interface board that is connected to the Relay board by a 3 foot ribbon cable. The user is prompted through menus for information such as AutoStart, Loop, and relay program entry. Each of the relays can be manually activated using the associated mini tactile switch located just below the relay. When the relay is activated, a LED just below the relay lights and a LED on the Programming Board lights as well. The Programming Interface board can be attached during playback or removed. If it is attached, the user can get playback status displayed on the LCD. Playback can be initiated by pressing the Enter Button on the Programming Interface Board, if connected, or via a dry contact closure at the remote trigger terminal on the Relay Board. When the board is triggered, a 80 mS Synch Pulse is present at the Synch terminal. The user can program up to 15 minutes of relay activity and up to a 5 minute delay time between playbacks if the Loop option is selected. If AutoStart is selected, as soon as the board is powered up, it goes directly to Run Mode and waits for a trigger event to occur.

Power (12Volts at 600 mA) can be supplied to the board via the 2.1 mm barrel connector or the Alternate Power terminal block.

Board requires 9-12 Vdc @ 600 mAmp power supply

Application Setup Overview

This board allows the control of a single servo by two different sources. One source can be from a hard-wired controller (like a Wizard -12 Board) and the other source can be from a R/C receiver. There is a switch on the board that when switched to the "W" position will lock out the R/C source. The servo attached to the board at the SO header will only respond to the Wizard board attached to the MSI header.
When the switch is switched to the "RW" position, control can be from either the Wizard board or the R/C receiver. In the RW mode, a second input from the R/C receiver attached to the RI-2 header will determine which input (either from the Wizard board attached to the MSI header or from the R/C servo input attached to the RI-1 header) will be used to control the servo attached to the SO header.
The board has a terminal block to allow the remote placement of a R/C Lockout switch.
Power to the board is provided by the connections to the R/C receiver and the Wizard board.

Application Setup Overview

This design will allow the control of a high current (up to 6A) DC power supply using input from a R/C servo controller. To accomplish this, 2 boards are required a Main Board and a PWM Board. The Main Board will take an incoming servo signal, convert it to a low current 0 ­ 5V DC output and use this output to control the PWM Board. A servo signal of 1 mS will equate to 0V DC output from the PWM board. A servo signal of 2 mS will equate to whatever the voltage is of the high current voltage supply attached to the PWM Board.

Theory of Operation:
The Main Board uses an on-board digital potentiometer to act as a voltage divider. The digital pot has 8 bits of resolution, meaning that it can divide the voltage being supplied to the pot (5VDC) into 255 increments (approx. 20 mV per increment). The uController on the Main Board receives a servo signal from an R/C controller that will range from 1 mS pulse width to 2 mS pulse width and convert that to a 0 ­ 5V DC output using the digital pot. This 0-5V DC output is then used to drive the PWM Board.

The PWM Board takes the control voltage output from the Main Board and uses it to control the output from the PWM Board to drive your high current load. The PWM Board is powered by a high current DC power supply (up to 35VDC at 6A). A 0V control signal from the Main Board will equate to 0V output from the PWM. A 5V control signal will equate to 100% of the voltage provided by the high current power supply.

Application Notes

This unique controller board set consists of 2 boards, a 4-Channel Servo Recorder board and a stand-alone 4-Channel Servo Playback board. The 4-Channel Servo Recorder board is connected to a servo driver board (See list below) which is connected to a computer and servo control software (VSA-Brookshire, other software). Servo Programing is done on the computer by VSA software and the output is sent to an attached servo driver board (SV203, Mini-SSC II) which is connected to the 4-Ch Servo Recorder board. The Recorder Board will receive and record up to 4 servo signals simultaneously and store them on individual on-board EEPROMS when activated. Up to 10 minutes of servo activity can be recorded to the EEPROM's.

Once you have recorded your servo program, you will then flip a switch on the recorder board, press a button to download all 4 servo programs to a single 8-pin EEPROM. This EEPROM is then removed from the Recorder Board and then placed on the stand-alone Playback Board. The EEPROM is on a easy to use board adapter that also has an area to write a label of what the EEPROM holds . With the easy to use EEPROM board, you can program the same show on multiple EEPROMs, place into another optional playback board or collect different shown on sets of EEPROMs, drop in a recorded EEPROM and have a new show in seconds. The Playback board will then playback the servo routine whenever it is triggered by a dry contact closure, manual switch, sensor. There is a potentiometer on the Playback Board that will prevent the board from being re-trigger for 0 to 6 minutes after the program completes playing.

The Stand-alone Playback board also has a1-Channel Solid State Relay (2 amp) on board that will activate every time the board is triggered, There is an adjustable potentiometer on-board that lets you set the relay on time. This relays is great for triggering other controller boards, MP3 sound boards or activating other effects, devices connected.

The remote extension Servo Connection Board makes it easy to connect the 4 servos to the recorder or playback board without having to un-connect and re-connect the individual servo wires. The board also makes it easy to install a set of servos and connect them to a playback board at a different location.

This set of boards allow the programming and control of 2 on-board solid state Relays, 6 R/C Servos, 10 channels of MP3 Audio Playback and 2 optional remote relay boards.

Programming is accomplished via a remote Programming Board that is attached to the Main board by a 6 foot ribbon cable. The user can program min and max servo movement limits and up to 11 minutes of servo movement and relay action. Additionally, the user can program the board to go into AutoStart mode on power-up and set the board to loop continuously with a programmable delay between each cycle. The Loop Time can be from 0 seconds to 5 minutes. The board can be triggered by applying a dry switch closure at the Trigger terminal or by pressing the Trigger pushbutton. When the board is in AutoStart mode so that the board will immediately go to waiting for a trigger event to start the playback. The user enters all time settings via menu-driven LCD. The servo movement is programmed via the on-board potentiometer located on the Programming Board or by the Remote Pot Board that is attached to the Programming Board.

There are 2 Remote Relay boards that can be optionally used.
One has a 25A Solid State Relay (SSR) that is designed to switch 120VAC. The other has a 10A mechanical relay that can switch either AC or DC. These 2 boards can be attached to the 2 Remote Relay Outputs on the Main Board. They will mirror the activity of the 2 corresponding SSRs on the Main Board when programmed.

There is also an on-board USB Drive MP3 player that can hold up to 10 audio files that are played back one at a time, sequentially or randomly, every time the board is triggered. There are 2 stereo outputs that allow you to attach powered speakers and another sound-driven device (like an AutoTalk Board).

The Remote Relay Board with the mechanical relay requires a 12V 200 mA power supply. The Main Board requires a 12V 500 mA power supply. Due to the large current required by the servos, a separate terminal is provided for supplying 5V from a separate power supply. This power supply should be rated to handle the current required by all servos attached. Also, power that is switched by the 2 on-board SSRs can be provided via the associated 2.1mm barrel connector or the adjacent terminal block. Alternatively, it 2 separate voltages are being switched, they can be applied via the 2 associated Power I/O terminals and selected with an associated jumper.

This modular mix and match system allows you to control the distribution of 10 Audio, Video (one source to ten selected outputs) and Solid State Relays using a small Remote Switch Board. With each of the 10 A/V channel, there are also 2 Solid State relays associated that are activated when the A/V channel is activated.(2 Sets of 10 or 20 Relays Total) These Relays can be used to control such things as Lighting, MP3 Audio, Special Effects or even another Animatronic Controller board when a channel is selected. The Main Board can control 2 of the A/V I/O boards, each of which has 5 channels of I/O. They are connected to the main board via 4' ribbon cables. The Main Board and the I/O board both require a power source (7.5 ­ 9V DC, 500 mA) which is connected to the 2.1 mm power connector or the 2-position terminal block next to the connector. There are indicator LEDs on both boards that will indicate what channel is active.

There are 3 user modes of operation: Manual, Sequential and Random.
The mode is selected by a 3-position slide switch. A LED will indicate which mode is selected. The channels are activated via a Remote Switch Board that is attached to the Main Board via a 6' ribbon cable. Switches are attached to each of the terminal blocks on the Switch Board to activate the channels. There is a green LED on the switch board that will indicate that power is active to the Main Board.

Operation:
After making all connections to the 2 I/O boards and applying power, you are now ready to select channels using the Remote Switch Board. As mentioned, there are 3 modes of operation that are selected with the small 3-position slide switch on the Main board. When the switch is all the way in the down position, it will be in Manual Mode. A green LED next to the switch will light when it is in this mode.

In the Manual Mode, you will activate the switch attached to the Remote Switch Board for the I/O channel that you want to activate. That channel will stay activated as long as the switch is activated. You may activate as many I/O channels as you wish simultaneously in this mode.

Sequential Mode. In this mode, you will only use the Seq/Rnd Trig terminal block (located at the end of the Remote Switch Board) to cycle through each channel sequentially. The channel selected will go from 1 ­ 10, one channel at a time each time the Seq/Rnd Terminal is shorted. The channel will stay activated as long as the switch is closed. Opening it and closing it will move it to the next channel. Only one channel will be activated at any time.

When the Mode Selection Switch is in the up position, the Random Mode is selected and indicated by a red LED. In this mode, you will also use the Seq/Rnd Trig terminal block on the Remote Switch Board. Each time the terminal is shorted, the Main Board will randomly select a channel to activate. Again, the channel will stay activated as long as the switch is closed and only one channel will be activated at any time.

Operating / Setup Instructions

Advanced full function MP3 audio control board, when triggered by activating the remote channel 1-10 input switches or by dry contact closure (Relay), will cause the player to play back 1 to 10 MP3 files that are stored on a USB flash device and turn on a remote (B. C) Solid State Relay board corresponding to the sound channel activated 1-10.

The audio (Stereo) MP3 files can be of any size up to the capacity of the USB flash device. You can have any number of files up to 10 on the flash device.

There are 3 modes of operation provided ­ Manual, Sequential and Random channel selection.

(1) Manual Mode: any channel 1 - 10 can be played back by selecting the remote switch corresponding to the sound channel, along with the corresponding solid state relay being activated.

(2) Sequential Mode: the player will play the files back sequentially from file000.mp3 to file009.mp3 (or whatever your last file is), one file at a time each time the board is triggered, along with activating a Solid State Relay for that channel. The Relays will stay activated for as long as the sound file is playing. After the board has played the last file, it will go back to file000.mp3 and start over.

(3) Random Mode: the control board will pick one of the files to play back at random, along with activating the corresponding solid state relay. It will pick a new file each time the board is triggered. The board will wait until the file has finished playing before it can be activated again.

This MP3 controller can be used in a prop, animatronic character, puppets, information display exhibit to play very high quality stereo audio sound every time it is activated and activate remote lighting, effects, animatronic controllers or other devices connected to the remote relay boards.

There are two different remote relay boards available to use with the playback board. (B) 5-Ch Solid State 2 Amp Relay board or a (C) user setup relay board that can use 1-5 solid state relays from 3 to 10 Amp in size provided by the user.

Board Overview, Setup Guide

This unique board was designed to allow the directional control of a 12V DC Linear (In / Out or standard CW / CCW) DC motor using the presence or absence of a 12V control signal at the Signal Input Terminal. When the signal is present, the motor will run in one direction (motor dependent). When the signal is not present, the motor will run in the opposite direction.

There are 2 limit switch inputs, controlled by the on-board PIC microprocessor, one for each direction that should be hooked to N.O. dry contact closure-type switches. When a limit switch is closed, it will stop or prevent movement in the associated direction. The board can be powered from a DC source of 7.5V ­ 24V DC, 100 mA minimum. Power to the board can be applied via the 2.1mm barrel-type connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block and is indicated by a green LED. Power for the motor should be 12VDC at a current applicable for the motor attached. It is applied via the 2.1mm Motor Power connector or the adjacent 2-position terminal block. A green LED next to the Motor Power connector indicates that motor power is present.
