Phidgets 16x RC Servo Phidget RCC1000_0
The RC Servo Phidget can control up to 16 RC servo motors. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.
Features:
- Control the position, velocity, and acceleration of each individual servo motor
- Set the minimum and maximum pulse width for each servo, and the actual position values they correspond to in code.
- Powered externally by an 8-30V supply
- Provides a total of up to 20A of regulated power to its servos.
- Control the regulator and choose a global voltage of 5.0V, 6.0V, or 7.4V.
Technical Details:
- Isolation - The VINT hub and the computer will be protected if anything goes wrong with your circuit
- Polarity Protection - The device will not turn on and will not be damaged if the power supply is connected backward
- Overcurrent Protection - Onboard fuse to protect the controller in an over-current Event
Connection and Compatibility
VINT Hubs
This Phidget is a smart device that must be controlled by a VINT Hub. You can use a Phidget Cable to simply and easily connect the two devices. Here's a list of all of the different VINT Hubs currently available:

Phidget Cables
Use a Phidget cable to connect this device to the hub. You can solder multiple cables together in order to make even longer Phidget cables, but you should be aware of the effects of having long wires in your system.

Servo Motors
The 16x RC Servo Phidget can drive up to 16 servo motors, up to a total maximum of 20 amps of current. Each of the servo motors in the list below is compatible with this Phidget and plugs directly to the board with no extra cables or soldering required. Servos come in two major varieties: limited rotation and continuous rotation. With limited rotation servos, the motor has a limited range of motion, but can be precisely controlled within that range. A continuous rotation servo can rotate continuously, but you won't be able to tell the servo to move to a specific location in degrees; instead you'll specify a direction and speed and for it to rotate at.

Power Supplies
This Phidget requires a power supply between 8 and 30V DC. We recommend that you use a 12V 5A DC power supply in most cases, but if you plan on using servos that add up to more than 5 Amps, you will want to get a power supply with a higher current rating. Select a power supply from the list below that matches your region's wall socket type.
