4-Ch Servo and 1-Ch Relay
( R/C Receiver Interface )

Board Size:
4-7/8" L x 4-1/2" W x 1/2" H

Application Setup Overview

This unique board will allow the manual control, recording and playback of approximately 10 minutes of (4ch) servo movement and (1ch) SS relay action via a radio control transmitter and receiver connection or optional non R/C interface board. The user can set the minimum and maximum limits for servo movement on board. All servo - relay information is stored in non-volatile EEprom memory. There is separate power connections for the board and servos, allowing large power servos to be used

Modes of Operation:
(A) Manually control of 4 standard R/C Servos and 1 Solid State Relay through R/C Transmitter or optional plug on Non R/C Controller Interface Input board. (B) Record servo, relay events through R/C Transmitter actions.
(C) Playback recorded servo, relay actions through R/C Transmitter activation. (D) Playback recorded servo, relay actions, switching between manual and auto playback modes through R/C Transmitter activation.

NOTE: Controller requires R/C Transmitter and Receiver system with at least 6 channels - 4 Servo output - 2 Aux channels or optional non R/C interface board.

NOTE: This controller may be used with other PWM devices such as Wizard boards, or other controller boards that generate PWM, Digital Output Signals.

(Power supplies R/C transmitter, receiver, jumper wires, optional manual control interface board, servos, remote switches not included)

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 programmer board is connected to a standard R/C receiver. The Recorder Board will receive and record up to 4 servo signals simultaneously and store them on individual on-board EEPROM's as the R/C transmitter joysticks are operated. Up to 10 minutes of servo activity can be recorded.

Once you have recorded your servo program, you 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 placed on the stand-alone Playback Board. The Playback board will then playback the servo routine whenever it is triggered by a dry contact closure. 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 playback can also be triggered by the R/C Transmitter Aux switch connected to an optional SS relay, R/C receiver and the stand-alone 4 - Channel servo playback board.

R/C Transmitters and Receivers:
Futaba System
Spektrum Radio System
Other R/C Systems

Recorder Board require 7.5 to 24 Vdc at 200 mA supply
Stand-alone Playback Board require 7.5 to 24 Vdc at 200 mA supply and 5-6 Vdc at 4 Amp power supply to power servos

The 8 Channel RC RX MUX can be used with standard hobby radio control systems and servo controllers to allow easy switching of servo control between two signal sources using a 8th channel of Input A as the output selector. Signal sources can come from R/C receiver, autopilot or microcontroller that connected to Input A and Input B. Standard RC servos are connected to the output. This makes it ideal for applications in which user has two possible control sources and want to be able to switch between them on the fly.

For example, user could connect two RC receivers at Input A and Input B. The RC servos are connecting to 8 channels of output. The 8th channel of Input A will decide whether the Input A or Input B is in control, thereby setting up your own buddy-system training setup. Another possible application would involve multiplexing between an RC receiver and a servo controller, which will allow you to switch between autonomous and manual control of a set of servos.

NOTE: This controller may be used with other PWM devices such as a second R/C Transmitter, or other Wizard controller boards.

This servo-analog converter board provides a two channel capability of converting standard R/C servo PWM pulses to 0-10 Vdc and/or 0-5 Vdc outputs suitable for driving standard lighting dimmer packs or any device that requires a 0-5 and/or 0-10 Vdc variable controlled analog signal input.

Operation Instructions

This board was designed to take input from 3 separate R/C servo signals and generate a 0-10 or 0-5VDC output (up to 80 mA) and control 2 sets of 2 Solid State Relays On and Off.
For the voltage output part of the board, the output range is selected by placing or removing a shorting block on the Voltage Output Select Jumper header pin. If it 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.
For the SSR part of the board, each set of 2 SSRs will operate in 1 of 4 modes which is selected by the placement of shorting blocks on the 2 header for each set. Each set will operate independently from the other. SSRs 1 and 2 are grouped together and will respond to the servo input coming from Servo Input Header #2. SSRs 3 and 4 are grouped together and will respond to the servo input coming from Servo Input Header #3. Each set will have 4 operation modes. The Relay modes are as follows:

Mode 1: Pulse Mode
This mode is selected by removing both jumpers. When the joystick is moved to the left, Relay 1 activates and stays activated as long as the joystick stays in the left position. When the joystick returns to the center position, the relay deactivates. When the joystick is moved to the right, Relay 2 is activated and stays activated as long as the joystick stays in the right position. When the joystick returns to the center position, the relay deactivates.

Mode 2: Toggle Mode
This mode is selected by placing the jumper on J1. When the joystick is moved to the left, Relay 1 is activated (toggled on) and stays on even when the joystick is returned to the center position. The relay is deactivated (toggled off) by moving the joystick to the left a second time. When the joystick is moved to the right, Relay 2 is activated (toggled on) and stays on even when the joystick is returned to the center position. The relay is deactivated (toggled off) by moving the joystick to the right a second time.

Mode 3: Double Pulse Mode
This mode is selected by placing the jumper on J2 and removing the jumper from J1. In this mode, when the joystick is moved to either the right or left, both relays are activated at the same time and stay activated as long as the joystick is in the left or right position. As soon as the joystick returns to the center position, both relays are deactivated.

Mode 4: Double Toggle Mode
This mode is selected by placing jumpers on both J1 and J2. When the joystick is moved to either the right or left, both relays are toggled on and remain on when the joystick is returned to the center position. When the joystick is moved to either the right or left position a second time, both relays are toggled off.

Servo Tester Manual

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.

Supplied built and tested, ready for immediate use.

Stop servo creeping
Prevent servo creep in 360° servos
Mounts like a boosted extension

Prevent the creep that is common with 360° modified servos used as robot drives. The Servo Neutralizer expands the dead-band range of the analog servo to compensate for occurences that cause the servo to wander beyond its neutral position.

The Servo Neutralizer increases the servo's dead-band range by 12hz causing the analog servo not to react to small signal variations.

The servo's range of motion is not affected. Mount the Servo Neutralizer just like you would a boosted extension. Each neutralizer comes in 24" lengths.

NOTE: Not Intended for use on Digital Servos, or servos with FET booster installed. The total amount of rotation control is dependent on the type of radio control or servo controller.

Extra range without distorting a servo signal.
Increase your range of servo motion to 180° instead of the standard 90°. The 180° Servo Stretcher doubles the range of your servo's motion giving you a full 90° of motion to either side of neutral with most servos. Works with any brand of analog servo.

The 180° Servo Stretcher doubles the distance between stops on the servo - effectively doubling the servo's range of movement without affecting the speed of the servo. Mount the 180° Servo Stretcher just like you would a boosted extension. Each stretcher comes in 24" lengths.

NOTE: Not Intended for use on Digital Servos, or servos with FET booster installed. The total amount of rotation is dependent on the type of radio control or servo controller. Results may be slightly less than 180° or slightly more. If it is slightly less, using full trims will allow more rotation.

CAUTION
Use caution when working with the Servo Stretcher, as some servo's have actual mechanical stops built into the servo that prevent extended rotations. Trying to exceed this stop will damage the servo. This product is not to be used with servos that offer more than 90° rotation from the factory or any brand of digital servos.

This inline servo signal processor lets you slow down the travel movement of the servo, without effecting the servo performance

The controller can be set for 1.7 sec, 2.2 sec, 3.8 sec and 6.5 sec delay.
Controller has Futaba J connectors, male and female.
Supply Voltage required 3.8 - 5.5 Vdc Max @ 7ma
Control Granularity: 200 steps full scale.
On board LED status indicator

It also doubles as a signal booster.

NOTE: Not Intended for use on Digital Servos, or servos with FET booster installed. The total amount of servo control is dependent on the type of radio control or servo controller used. Results may vary with different systems.

This Dual Adjustable Servo rate slower has the ability to indepenantly slow down two servos. A small potentiometer allows the servo end and end speed to be adjusted from less than 1 second to 5 seconds. The potentiometer also allows selection of the failsafe signal. When the rate reducer receives 10 bad signals in a row, it will default to failsafe mode and slowly move the servo to the failsafe position. This is especially important for Robot Combat gear

One or both channels can be used at any time.

The small potentiometer is adjusted in the following manner: The center is the fastest servo speed. Turning the potentiometer to the left or right will slow down the servo. Turning the potentiometer to the left will enable the failsafe signal to be 1.0ms. Turning the potentiometer to the right will enable the failsafe signal to be 2.0ms.

This 24" Servo Extension Booster for Futaba J servos allows you to place your servos farther away from the signal source in animatronics and robot projects.

Mounts like a normal servo extension between controller and servo.

The Servo Reverser will actually reverse the direction of the R/C servo motor rotation.
Servos can now be mounted with symmetry in your project.

The Glitch Reducer will eliminate most glitches before they get to the servos or electronic controllers. It will constantly output the last known 'good' signal and will suppress any input signal outside of the signal range. It will also suppress the random input signals that are within the signal range.

Information:
Weight: 1 gram
Size: 8mm x 44mm x 5mm (average)
Power consumption: 4 mA

Abilities:
Over 800 steps of signal input/output resolution.
Output timing adjusts the signal to get exactly like the signal from the transmitter.
Filters out the signals that are beyond the transmitter limit.
Filters out rogue signals that are within the valid signal range.
Valid signals are averaged together to produce smooth output.

Connection:
Glitch reducer should be placed between the controller and the servo. When using a glitch reducer in conjunction with a servo lead extension cable, the servo should plug directly into the glitch reducer. The glitch reducer should plug into the extension cable and the extension cable should be plugged into the controller. This allows the glitch reducer to eliminate the electrical interference generated by the long extension cable wires.

NOTE: Not Intended for use on Digital Servos, or servos with FET booster installed. The total amount of control is dependent on the type of radio control or servo controller.

This adjustable servo rate slower has the ability to indepenantly slow down a single servos. A small potentiometer allows the servo speed to be adjusted from less than 1 second to 5 seconds.

The Camera Servo Slower is designed to smoothly move a R/C servo that is used for positioning a camera. The Camera Servo Slower works perfectly with a servo controller or an R/C transmitter stick. When the stick or controller is in the center position, the servo does not move. When the stick or controller potentiometer is moved to one side or another, the servo will slowly move to that position. When the camera is pointed in the correct direction, simply move the stick or controller back to the center to hold the servo at that position.

The Camera Servo Slower also includes a failsafe mechanism that always outputs a correct servo signal. It will hold the servo at the last known position even if it looses the input signal from a glitch or control problem.

This unique board will allow use of a RC servo control joystick to control eight channels of remote DC lights (LED or incandescent) in 2 different sequences. Each channel is capable of driving up to 200 mA of lighting. An on-board LED for each channel indicates that the channel is active. Two on-board SS relays ­ one for each sequence - will also activate depending on which sequence is selected. A Mode Selection Switch will allow the user to toggle between Momentary On or Toggle On/Off modes. For example, with the Mode switched to Mode 1 (Momentary On), when the RC joystick is tilted to the left, Sequence 1 will start and Relay 1 will activate. Sequence 1 and Relay 1 will continue to be active as long as the joystick stays in the left position. When the joystick is in the center position, neither sequence will be selected. In Mode 2 (Toggle On/Off), when the joystick is tilted to the left and then returned to the center position, Sequence 1 will start and Relay 1 will activate. The sequence will continue and the relay will stay activated as long as the joystick remains in the center position. To stop this sequence, the user must tilt the joystick to the left a second time, toggling the sequence off. The same applies for Sequence 2. There are 2 potentiometers on board, one for each sequence that allows the user to control the rate of each sequence. The board has an on-board On/Off switch. Power to the board is supplied by the 5V line of the RC Servo connection and should have sufficient current to drive the board and all of the eight light channels (~2A max).

Sequence 1 ­ Cylon Effect:
When the Joystick is tilted to the left, Relay 1 actuates and a single channel rasters back and forth. Rate 1 Potentiometers will control the rate of the rastering.

Sequence 2 ­ Strobe:
When the Joystick is tilted to the right, Relay 2 actuates and all channels strobe on and off in unison. Rate 2 Potentiometer will control the rate of the channel strobing.

Board Size:
4-1/2" L x 4-1/4" W x 1" H
Application Setup Overview

The R/C - Wizard Servo Switch board will switch 1-6 individual servo PWM signals coming from a standard R/C receiver or all 6 individual servo PWM signals coming from a Wizard Board to 6 shared common servo lines when switched on / off by R/C transmitter-receiver Aux Ch.

The user will manually control 1-6 servos by operating the R/C transmitter
as a normal R/C system. When the user activates R/C Transmitter Ch -AUX ON, the control board will automatically switch all servo lines from the R/C Transmitter-servo operation to the Wizard Board operation and will trigger the Wizard board to playback pre recorded routine to the shared 6 channel servos.

When Ch-AUX of the R/C transmitter-receiver is de-activated it will switch all 6 channels from the Wizard Board back to the R/C transmitter-receiver control for manual operation of the 1-6 shared servos.

NOTE: This controller may be used with other PWM devices such as a second R/C Transmitter, or other controller boards.

Application and Setup Overview

Solid State Relays Rated:
1 - 20 VDC at 2 Amp

This board allows the use of an RC controller to select outputs for two servo inputs and control two SS relays. The Servo outputs and relays are controlled separately. Two servo inputs can be output to 6 different outputs. The RC joystick allows the user to select which of the 6 outputs to send the two servo inputs to. Moving the joystick left decrements the channel, moving it right increments the channel. The channel number selected is displayed on a 7 segment LED display. Once a channel has been selected, a 2 second time delay is started before enabling the outputs. After the delay has expired, the Channel Active Indicator (decimal point on LED Display) lights and the incoming servo signals are routed to the selected outputs. Power for the servos can be supplied by a single power supply (by inserting the shorting block next to the servo connector), or any servo can have a separate power source. This is attached at the terminal block just above the servo connector. In this case, the shorting block must be removed. All servo signals are optically isolated from the inputs.

The relays are also controlled by RC joysticks. Each relay is controlled by a separate joystick. Moving either joystick to the right will activate the associated relay. When the joystick is returned to the center, the relay is deactivated.

The board is powered by 12VDC and is attached to the Power Input Terminal block or the 2.1mm Power Jack. A terminal block is also supplied to allow the attachment of a remote switch which will bypass the on-board switch.

This PIC micro controlled board will take a RC Servo signal from any standard RC transmitter and receiver or Wizard Servo board and toggle the operation of a 2 amp Solid State DC Relay. When there is no servo signal being input, the relay will be off. When the servo signal is about 1.0mS then the relay will come on and will stay on until the servo signal goes to about 2.0 mS and then the relay will go off.

1.0 mSec +/- = Solid State Relay - ON
1.5 mSec +/- = Solid State Relay - Neutral not ON or OFF
2.0 mSec +/- = Solid State Relay - OFF

There is a green LED to indicate when the SS Relay is active and a red LED to indicate that the board is receiving power from the RC Receiver / Controller.
On board wire terminals for Load and Power supply input to load.
Power supply through SS Relay to load can be from 1-60 Vdc up to 2 Amps

This board allows the activation of two Solid State 2-Amp Relays by using the standard R/C Transmitter joystick. It has 4 modes of operation that are selected by the placement of 2 jumpers. The board is powered by the +5V coming from the servo connector.

Mode 1: Pulse Mode
When the joystick is moved to the left, Relay 1 activates and stays activated as long as the joystick stays in the left position. When the joystick returns to the center position, the relay deactivates. When the joystick is moved to the right, Relay 2 is activated and stays activated as long as the joystick stays in the right position. When the joystick returns to the center position, the relay deactivates.

Mode 2: Toggle Mode
When the joystick is moved to the left, Relay 1 is activated (toggled on) and stays on even when the joystick is returned to the center position. The relay is deactivated (toggled off) by moving the joystick to the left a second time. When the joystick is moved to the right, Relay 2 is activated (toggled on) and stays on even when the joystick is returned to the center position. The relay is deactivated (toggled off) by moving the joystick to the right a second time.

Mode 3: Double Pulse Mode
When the joystick is moved to either the right or left, both relays are activated at the same time and stay activated as long as the joystick is in the left or right position. As soon as the joystick returns to the center position, both relays are deactivated.

Mode 4: Double Toggle Mode
When the joystick is moved to either the right or left, both relays are toggled on and remain on when the joystick is returned to the center position. When the joystick is moved to either the right or left position a second time, both relays are toggled off.

Board Size:
2" L x 1-5/8" W x 1/2" H
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.
