Wheres the car?

so i've kept looking into the servo thing and found this link helped me understand what the software is actually sending to the servo... it seems a lot of the microcontrollers can control up to 8 servos which im not sure it means you have 8 inputs and 8 outputs or what

I'll keep trying to get my head around it and let you know... ( i may even buy some to experiment lol)

There's a car?

Apparently, but I'm only seeing heaven.

im quite happy to throw sone coin in yoyr bank account if you wanna experiment. morton expressed an interest in this mod too for his kingswood, you never know, it could actually be a money spinner for you.

ok so i didnt have a huge amount to do tonight other than maybe play some coh2 with my brother who i just realised i blew off to do this lol that and no footy was of any interest to me

i got some brackets drawn up for these:

25 lbs. Linear Actuators

I'm hoping it will have the speed to do it and should be enough force im thinking... if not can go to a slightly stronger but slower one or design a linkage to get some extra leverage in there

this is a pretty rough job as dimensions were sorta guessed and i wanted to get something sketched up to work from so excuse rough it looks (the big slab that everything is mounted to is the gearbox casing)

think i need to make page 1 a table of contents page, took me fkn ages to find this post

 

[ari666]

when these guys say "25 pounds" do they mean inch pounds or foot lbs? cos 25 inch pounds is about 3nm...

25 lbs. Linear Actuators


this servo is about the same if its inch lbs:

aint no way 3nm will cut it

just put the force guage on it, the normal gears like N and D are only around 1.5NM, but park is just over 3NM
