Servo (use with mDesigner)

The Servo is an actuator with precise position control. The angle of the arm (called the Servo Horn), can be controlled. Connectivity to an mCookie project is accomplished with the used of Hub Connector Cables and a Servo Connector. Support for this module is found in mDesigner.

Compatible Pins

A use of a Servo Connector and Hub Connector cables are required to connect a Servo to a project.
The following pins on the Hub or mCenter+'s Hub support this module:

Blocks

Servo - Set Angle

This block moves the Servo's horn to the configured angle. The Servo will attempt to move to the angle at the fastest speed.

Note: The angle is relative to where the Servo's horn has been place. Therefore, it is recommended to calibrate the angle first by setting the angle to 0, then placing the Servo horn.

Servo - Set Angle Duration

This block moves the Servo's horn from the starting angle to the ending angle over the duration time (milliseconds).

Note: The angle is relative to where the Servo's horn has been place. Therefore, it is recommended to calibrate the angle first by setting the angle to 0, then placing the Servo horn.

Note: If the Servo is not already at the starting angle, then the Servo will quickly move to the starting angle. It is recommended to have the Servo's angle at the starting angle before running this block.

Note: This block is holding. Which means the angle change must complete (duration) before the program goes to the next block in the script.
