Servo and Shaft
Encoder Setup
Thomas Wakayama 4/17/00
How to set up the Servo?
 |
First you must cut the lip off
the arm that's in front of the screw. This way
the piece that you will be mounting on the arm
will lay flat on it.
|
|
The servo has two crossed arms
and you must mount the piece of LEGO across the
arm which is lined up with the long side of the
servo body.
|
|
Make sure that when turning the
arm from the above reference position that it is
free to rotate almost equally to both the left
and the right.
|
(FOR SOME SERVOS YOU MAY HAVE TO
TAKE OFF THE ARM AND PLACE IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE).
How to glue the encoder?
|
Make sure the red side is in the
inside.
|
|
Hold down with thumb to move in
the exact spot.
|
|
Make sure you see red plastic
bubble in the hole of the wheel. This means that
it's aligned.
|
|
Glue on top so that it's glued
just to that one piece.
|
You should put a strip of tape
around the end of the red sensor. This will help
block any light that gets in there so that it
doesn't throw the counts off.
