Hello,
I am planning to build a robot based on the Lynxmotion Hexapod II
and Big Grip kits. There will be 12 servos for lego control, 2
servos for the manipulator, and 2 more for a camera pan/tilt
unit. Everything appears fairly straightforward, but:
1) I am trying to decide on whether to use two mini SSCs or the
Ferrettronics chips to control the servos. Does anyone have
any info/experience that might sway me one way or the other?
Is anyone aware of documentation or tips for using either
of these with the handy board?
2) I am wondering if I can run the servos from the handy board
batteries or if I need to have a separate battery pack for
the servos. Obviously the HB batteries won't last very long
if they are also running 16 servos, but would this work?
TIA,
Doug
