manscan Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hello: I just purchased my first Servodog and set it up in the LOR network. When I go to the servodog configuration screen and test the unit it works nicely.I have added the the Servodog to the sequencing with the other controllers. It looks like this:SD Channel 1SD Channel 2SD Channel 3 etc. till Channel 8.The servo is attached to SD Channel 1. When I fill in some color blocks on the sequencer the servo moves but, only in a clockwise direction and then back to origin.My question is: How do I fill in the blocks on the sequence section of a song and get the Servo to move left to right or right to left?If you could show me I would appreciate it. I am stumped from this point on how to control the servo.Thanks in advance for your help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Start by filling your channel at 50%. This "centers" your servo. Then ramping towards 100% moves one way, and towards 0% the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manscan Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hello: Thanks for the tip. I set a group of blocks at 50%. I then added the fade up and then, I added a fade down. The servo still only moves to the right when it hit any of the ramps I put in the sequence.I have to be doing something wrong?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 And the fade down went to zero, and stayed long enough to settle? Remember, 0 is all the way in one direction, and 100 is all the way to the other. You might want to use the hardware utility to put the servo at 50, and center your servo horn there. When you go back to the sequence editor, your servo will go back to one stop until it gets the 50% intensity that sets it to center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
