Slave servo | BasicX | EmbeddedRelated.com

I'm working on a plotter project that uses a servo amp and motor/encoder in two axis. I've come to the conclusion that rather than use a torque tube to drive side two of the X-Axis, I would prefer to use a second X motor (automatic beam squaring, etc...). I have a servo amplifer IC and would like to put it to use instead of ordering another servo controller module. I'm curious if anyone has linked two motors like this? Know of a web site showing how or at least theory or hints as to how it can be done? Thanks for your help Mike

Two normal servos can be combined by putting them in parallel. But make sure that the system can deliver the power for two servos. Kind regards, Tom I'm using a lynxmotion robot, and the base arm is powered by two servos which are connected in parallel and pluged ino one output of my servo controller. �-----Original Message----- �From: Mike Anderson [mailto:] �Sent: woensdag 27 maart 2002 3:12 �To: �Subject: [BasicX] Slave servo � � �I'm working on a plotter project that uses a servo �amp and motor/encoder in two axis.
