A 50% input from the second servo will mean that you will only get 50% speed from the full range of travel from the first servo! This controller allows one servo input (from a standard, average Radio Control recieve) to control speed in both directions, and it allows a second servo input to adjust the top speed. I am powering the drive motor of this truck with a SyRen 1x50 motor controller. Ok, I am building a large radio control truck. Holy crap, I wasn't expecting replies so fast! Thank you! I'm excited now I appologize for being so cryptic about my application but I have had a number of people tell me "you're wasting your time" or "it can't be done" when I KNOW it can! I just dont know the most efficient way of doing it and that is what I am asking for.Īfter I get a couple answers, I will gladly describe the application. I would like to easily be able to adjust these degrees of rotation independantly from each other as I have no idea what they will finally be. If BOTH L1 AND L2 are activated, I need a third degree of rotation ON THE SAME SERVO. When L2 is activated, I need a different degree of rotation on the same servo.

When limit switch L1 (the actual nature of this limit switch is not-yet important) is activated, I need a Servo to move to a certain degree of rotation (the actual function of this servo output is also not-yet important), until L1 is no longer activated.

I am not saying which Arduino (or PICAXE or STAMP or whatever) processor I am using, because I would like you readers to suggest the least complicated and lowest cost to do what I describe. I do not want my application changing your opinions before you hear what I am trying to do. I want to describe my idea BEFORE I describe the actual application. Yes, I am likely over-complicating my project but that is why I am asking! Yes, I know basic electrical and electronics principals. Yes, I am extremely new to programming but have some simple experience, and friends who can help. Yes, I will likely stick around this forum after this is answered. Yes, I joined this forum just to ask this question.
