Previous: Measuring the Output
-
Set your transmitter switch to the off position.
-
Connect the output of the amplifier to the signal input of the servomotor
controller.
-
Turn on the switch in your transmitter.
-
Vary the potentiometer in the transmitter and observe the servo position.
Is the servo being driven as expected?
-
Make measurements as appropriate using any of the test instruments.
Be sure to explain each measurement made along with a discussion of
its meaning in your lab report. Hint: Measure voltages and/or currents
for several different positions of the potentiometer and observe
the position of the servo. Provide tables of measured data, graphs
of servo position as a function of voltage and/or current measured.
Discuss the relationship between servo position and the measured
quantities. Are the relationships linear?
