01:13 AM Jak_o_Shadows: My chainable (well, it's more parallel) serial servo driver boards work
01:20 AM Jak_o_Shadows: 9 servos from 3 PCBs (V3 will have 4 channels per PCB)
02:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: https://paste.pics/bc2d29cf293973cd77f57d4d8c02ea76 for the three boards
02:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: and https://paste.pics/b9e8c54b68398df88f89d0e83da542ad for roughly installed on the actual robot
02:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I probably need to shorten each servo cable
03:06 AM rue_mohr: :) not hanging off the servo shaft, I like it!
03:07 AM rue_mohr: I bet its not as cheap as using a 4017
03:46 AM Jak_o_Shadows: the robot design is just a copy - I did add the bearings though
03:46 AM Jak_o_Shadows: True I think each servo board is about $6 AUD?
03:46 AM Jak_o_Shadows: But the advantage in form factor and shape is the key for me
