An Overview Of The Arduino Multi Servo Control
The servo library we were using included with Arduino can reliably control up to 8 servos at the same time. This is pretty awesome and means that we can easily get going with servo related projects where good control is necessary. This article showed some quick examples of how controlling more than 1 servo can be accomplished and even gave a primitive camera-tripod example of what can be done.
What To Do Now
With so much power in control of servo motors, your next step should be to go out into the world and start building projects with servo motors. Whether they are controlling robotic arms, sharpie dotifiers or wirelessly control servo motors, there's a ton of different places where servo control is used and where cool projects can be done.
Conclusion
The goal of this article and project was to control multiple servos at the same time and to make examples of synchronous vs. asynchronous control. The video in the data section proved out that these goals were accomplished (however simple) and that they are repetable. Now get out there are start controlling tons of servo motors and building cool projects!
If you have any further questions, I implore you...don't be shy, take a look at the forums or ask a question there. I check them out regularly and love getting comments & questions.
