This USB based servo controller has lots of extras including; eight optically isolated inputs, eight open collector "sink" outputs, and eight servo outputs, all controlled from any USB equipped computer. |
- Servo Outputs Eight 4.5v 20mSEC period, 1 - 2 mSEC pulse width TTL servo outputs.
- Inputs Eight optically isolated 20mA sink (short to ground to activate) inputs.
- Outputs Eight current sink (short to ground when activated) 400mA outputs. 800mA total for all eight outputs.
- Connections
External DC servo power is connected via a pluggable terminal block.
Servos are connected via (8) three pin .1" headers (GND, V+, SIG).
Inputs are connected via (8) three pin .1" headers (GND, V+, Input).
Outputs are connected via (8) three pin .1" headers (GND, V+, Output).
- Power Supply External DC servo power must be supplied.
- Diagnostics On board LED shows status of USB registration/authentication.
- Software Windows installable USB driver and demo software (with source code) written in C++ and Visual Basic. The USB Servo Controller appears as a Human Interface Device (HID) vendor specific Usage Page and Usages in Windows.
- Mounting PCB has four mounting holes in corners..

General
Our USB Servo II Controller is a cost effective solution, designed to provide a USB interface to real world devices and or products. It can be used in industrial, commercial, amusement, or many other applications, allowing a PC's USB port to control Human Interface Devices (HID's).
The servo outputs can be used to bring motion to a device, drive a motion platform, animate a figurine (animatronics), robotics, provide player feedback in a game, or many other applications.
Eight optically isolated inputs provide an interface to events or conditions. They can be used to watch for user inputs, travel limits, motion sensing, or any other external event or condition.
Eight sink outputs provide a pathway from your software to outside the PC. They can be used to run indicators, motors, contactors, safety interlocks, or any other external device you need to trigger.
Connection to the USB Servo II Controller is simple. 3 row .1" headers allow connection of standard off-the-shelf servos. A two pin Plugable terminal block is used to accept external power for the servos. A "B" type USB connector is used for connection via a cable, to your USB port.
Software
Install the USB drivers on your computer, just as you would with any other USB device, then plug in the USB Servo controller. The sample software included with source code demonstrates how to monitor/read the eight inputs and current servo postions and how to control the eight inputs, outputs, and servos.
