Thread: Legal Servo Control

    Default Legal Servo Control

    In 2005, it was permissible to connect servos directly to the CMUcam. The new 2007 CMUcam does not have servo headers installed. Rule R69 seems to be most relevant, however it does not specifically address servos. For clarification, what devices may directly control a servo:

    * Is it the Robot Controller only? If not:

    * Is it permissible to connect them to an older CMUcam?

    * Is it permissible to connect them to a custom circuit?

    Servos can only be controlled by the provided IFI Robot Controller.

    UPDATE:

    Servos must be controlled by the IFI Robot Controller. The only exception is a COTS camera that controls pan and tilt of the camera itself (the camera provided in the Kit of Parts does not have this capability).
