Servos instead of Stepper motors
July 29, 2011 06:56PM
I am building a cnc/ 3d printer like machine and I am using continuous servos for the x, y, and z axis. I am also trying to use replicatorg for the software to use for this.
I have coded so far the communications from the controller(It isnt your usual arduino) that I am using to the computer, the computer tells the controller what rotation angle each servo needs, but I don't know what to do to turn the output into servo rotations, does anyone know how to do that and incorporate it into replicatorg?

Any help is appreciated!
Hello, i'm into exactly the same stage....

depending on the type of servo you are using, there are several ways to control them.
i'm working with some modified servos, towerpro. now they rotate 360* & i managed to control for the moment the rotation to 0.25* for each "step".

you can contact me if you fell like discussingsmiling smiley
