October 31st - via: kickstarter.com
Hello everyone, The ServoShock is now able to have the DualShock3's stick, button, and sensor signals overridden by SPI bus commands. An Arduino or other microcontroller can masquerade as the DualShock3 and assume control of any of the channels via... (Read More)
App Note: Using a BEC to Regulate the Input Voltage
October 26th - via: kickstarter.com
When powering RC servos with the ServoShock board, we generally need to keep the input voltage between 5.1V and the max servo voltage, usually 6V. Since a 2-series (2s) lithium polymer battery is already 7.4V, a BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit)... (Read More)
