To hook up the three Pot connections you will firstly need to establish the tags and the positions that I refer to. If you take the pot and look at the back of it, then make sure that the tags are at the top of the pot, then; The only thing that will happen if you get them wrong is that the servo will not respond correctly to your commands and when you power

it up it will wind all the way to one side and stay there. If this happens then reverse the connections to Pot A and C and all should be fine. Pot B is always the middle. To hook up the motor + and -, you simply need to look at the back of the servo motor and there will be a red dot on the positive side. Hook this to the Mot + and the other to the Mot -. Some servo`s have and additional capacitor across the terminals of the servo motor, you can remove this if you want, the circuit has a capacitor on the PCB to do the same job. Now check that you have not soldered over the tracks and that all components are in the correct spot. Also use a Multi-Meter set at a low Ohmage and test on the backside on the PCB to make sure nothing is shorted out. You can use the schematic as a guide to which parts of the circuit should be connected to which other parts. Remove all servo drive gears from the servo, making a note of how they came off and where they fit (take a photo if you have a digital camera). This should only leave the drive gear from the Servo Motor and the pot shaft left in the servo. Take a spare battery pack and through a connect it directly to the servo. You will need and adapter to do this, I just use short bits of left over wire from the resistors to make the bridge. Please make sure you have the polarity right i. e. ; Black servo wire to the negative side of the battery and the Positive Servo wire to the positive side...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
