ServoCenter驚人的、無與倫比的控制允許連接多達(dá)16個(gè)伺服系統(tǒng)尋求位置、尋求速度——以簡(jiǎn)潔、邏輯命令,獨(dú)立、同時(shí)工作。
高達(dá)16個(gè)(MIDI版本32個(gè))ServoCenter可以鏈接在一起,最多可控制256個(gè)RC伺服電機(jī)(MIDI版本512個(gè)),具有完全自主的運(yùn)動(dòng),僅僅透過一個(gè)串口、USB或MIDI端口!獨(dú)立控制可以讓你慢慢地移動(dòng)一個(gè)伺服電機(jī)的位置,而快速移動(dòng)另一個(gè)伺服電機(jī)到不同位置,組合動(dòng)作可讓您輕松同步多個(gè)伺服電機(jī)。
ServoCenter控制器廣泛應(yīng)用于機(jī)器人、電子動(dòng)畫、運(yùn)動(dòng)控制、自動(dòng)化、零售展示等,并在需要獨(dú)立的和協(xié)調(diào)的流體伺服運(yùn)動(dòng)的其他領(lǐng)域尤其有用。
ServoCenter可以使用簡(jiǎn)單的原始數(shù)據(jù)包協(xié)議或使用包含ActiveX控件或Win32的DLL編程。示例程序說明了所有的編程方法,都包含在文檔和示例CD中。ServoCenter命令協(xié)議通過構(gòu)建和發(fā)送簡(jiǎn)單的命令數(shù)據(jù)包,發(fā)出復(fù)雜的伺服運(yùn)動(dòng)命令。代碼示例包含用于:
GCC/Linux, QBASIC, TurboC, Python, C#, Visual Basic.NET, Visual Basic 6.0, C#.NET, Visual C++.NET, and Visual C++ 6.0.

Josh Cardenas - Midi Controlled Robotic Cameras 監(jiān)控機(jī)器人(攝像頭)。Josh Cardenas, one of the architects for the show effects for DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, is using ServoCenter MIDI to control robotic cameras for real-time visuals. The equipment includes both robotic pan-and-tilt cameras and wrist-mounted units that allow the audience a uniquely intimate view of the turntablists at work. A short interview appears in Create Digital Motion. http://vimeo.com/1136271#at=0

Northwestern University's Robotic Ribbon Fin 西北大學(xué)制作了南美黑幽靈西刀機(jī)器魚,魚鰭由16個(gè)獨(dú)立伺服馬達(dá)控制。
A team from the Departments of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University (Michael Epstein, J Edward Colgate, Malcolm A MacIver) introduced a new robotic fish fin inspired by the ribbon-like fin of the South American black ghost knifefish. They generated PWM control signals using a ServoCenter board to address sixteen motors independently, and custom MATLAB software to send binary command data to ServoCenter using a serial interface to a Windows PC.
