Servo
Driver Shown below is servo driver module. The module has the following design features: Interfaces to standard PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) servo motors used in R/C (Radio Control) aircraft and cars. The servo update rate is 50Hz or a pulse every 20mS. The pulse width varies from 1 to 2mS to control the position of the servo motor. A 1mS pulse moves the servo to a full CCW position, while a 2mS pulse moves the servo to the full CW position. A separate power converter handles the high surge current required by the servo motors and avoids reset and glitch problems with the main controller. A high speed serial interface connects the servo driver to the main controller. Two processors in the system provide a fail-safe, redundant environment. If communications between the processors is lost, an automatic recovery sequence will attempt to correct the problem. If a fatal fault is detected, a parachute recovery system is deployed to allow safe recovery of the aircraft. Includes interface to standard R/C receiver to allow conventional take off and landing with manual control and automated flight once airborne. Servo Driver.
