In order to calibrate servos to the Ares board the need to be modified so
that you have access to the trimmer pot located inside the modified servo.
To see how to modify a servo visit one of our
servo modification pages here.
Step 1 - Load a Test Program
func main()
print "Test Program"
endfunc
Load the above program into the Dios on the Ares board.
What you are really doing is clearing any existing programs that my mess
up your calibrations.
Step 2 - Connect Servo to Servo Channel 2 or 3
-
Make sure the power switches are turned off.
-
Disconnect both servos from the servo connector on the
Ares Board.
-
Connect the left servo to channel 2 servo connector
(3rd). Channels 2 and 3 default to 1500us.
-
You may need to elevate the bot or remove the wheels to
gain access to trimmer inside.
Step 2 - Adjust the Servo
Using a small screwdriver tweak the trimmer inside.
Turn in the same direction the wheel is turning. You want to
adjust the servo until in no longer moves.
