Servo channels are used to control servos across their range of movement, and vary their speed. They can only be used with the Servo Master.

You are able to vary the speed and change the position as part of your Update channel actions

Adding

1. In Channels click 'Add channel' and select 'Servo'
2. Enter a name that you would like to call it
3. You will be presented with the channel view

Current Position & Speed

• Current position - the current state - "forward", "reverse" and "stop"
• This is controlled by clicking on the directions
• Current speed - a slider between 0 to 100% which can be manipulated to change the intensity of power and therefore the speed of the motor
  • N.B. this feature is not intended as a way to lower the voltage of the output channel so you can run different voltage motors from the same Motor Master e.g. if you wanted to run a 12v motor from a Motor Master plugged into a 24v PSU. You risk permanent damage to your motors if used in this way
• These values will show the current status of a virtual or real channel

Settings

• Show labels - this will toggle on or off the names of the directions - "forward", "reverse" and "stop"
• Default direction allows you to change the default position of the motor (e.g. actuators which have limit switches will move in this direction and then stop automatically at the end of their stroke). This will be the position in the Reset state and at the beginning of your show.
• Default Speed - this is the default speed of the motor which it will always revert to in the Reset state. If you never choose to change the speed in your Behaviours, this will be the speed the motor always moves at.

Patching

• From here you can patch the channel to any available Motor Master channels
• If it appears blank you need to create a box in devices in order to patch (see Adding boxes)
