This library is designed to make it easier to create designs incorporting standard servos.
Methods are provided to access dimensions for each servo and to generate models of them.
Although I believe this library is fully-featured, only a very limited selection of servos (ones that I personally have on hand) have been included. It's fairly easy to add more, though.
A current list of supported servos can always be obtained by echoing the value of the ServoLib_ValidServoModels variable. For example: echo (ServoLib_ValidServoModels);
As of version 2.0.0, the supported servo models are: ["S3003 (Clone)", "MG90S (Clone)", "SG90 (Clone)", "GH-S37D"]
This method generates a basic model of the specified servo. The generated model is intended to be a guide for designing around servo hardware. It is not intended to be accurate beyond the basic measurements.
The method accepts the following parameters:
-
servo_model- the name of the servo to model. -
xcenter- specifies where the motor should be centered horizontally (defaults to "axle") "axle" generates the motor centered on the axle. "body" generates the motor with the body centered along the origin. -
zcenter- determines where the motor is positioned on the z-axis (defaults to "axle top"). "axle top" generates the motor with the top of the axle on the XY plane. "axle base" or "body top" generates the motor with the bottom of the axle on the XY plane. "wing top" generates the motor with the top of the wings on the XY plane. "wing bottom" generates the motor with the bottom of the wings on the XY plane. "body base" or "base" generates the motor with the entire servo above the XY plane.
This method generates an outline of the body of the selected servo.
The method accepts the following parameters:
-
servo_model- the name of the servo to model -
xcenter- specifies where the motor should be centered horizontally (defaults to "axle") "axle" generates the motor centered on the axle. "body" generates the motor with the body centered along the origin.
Generates a 2D hole pattern for the servo's mounting screw holes. This pattern can be extruded to create mounting screw holes in your model.
The method accepts the following parameters:
servo_model- the name of the servo to model.
Returns true if servo_model is a recognized Servo Model Name. The function accepts the following parameters:
servo_model- the name of the servo to model.
Returns the Aft Height of the specified servo model (see diagrams below). The function accepts the following parameters:
