Motor Controller

For motor controller using SC16A. SC16A offers reliable yet user friendly RC Servo motor controller to hobbyist and students. It is designed to control 16 independent standard RC (Remote Control) servo motors simultaneously in a single board. Each servo signal pin is able to generate servo pulses from 0.5 ms to 2.5 ms, which is greater than the range of most servos, further allows for servos to operate 180 degrees. Through serial communication, SC16A can be daisy chain in 2 boards to offer independent control over 32 RC servo motors simultaneously. The host of SC16A can either be a PC desktop, Laptop with USB port, or microcontroller with UART interface. Both USB and UART interface present a flexible, fast and easy to use feature. With USB, it is plugand play, user is able to get it running within 5 minutes time. It is designed with capabilities and features of:
16 channels: Servo driven independently
Extendable to 32 Channels: Two controller linked together to drive 32 servos
Optional Position Reporting: User may request position of an individual servo.
Optional Servo Ramping: Choose one of 63 ramp rate (speed rate) for each servo.
Sample GUI for computer*: User may control the servo via sample GUI software.
Resolution: 1.367us.
UART: 9600 baud rate
Servo pulse: 0.5ms to 2.5ms
