The Configuration Utility

The Motion Board page in the Utility provides the following options.

There are four actions associated with the Motion Board, all of which should be used with a single trigger pulse type input signal.

This action moves the motor between two positions, one motion on each trigger event.

"listen to channel number ..." - This is the channel which triggers the action.
"control servo number ..." - The servo to be controlled, numbered from 0-4.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the first position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the first motion. The servo starts at 90° on power up and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the second position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the second motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.

This action waits for a moment, moves the servo to a position, then waits for a moment at the new position, then moves back to the first position.

"listen to channel number ..." - Which channel controls this action.
"control servo number ..." - The servo to be controlled, numbered from 0-4.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the first position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the first motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the second position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the second motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.

This action behaves much like sweep and return, but runs continuously until turned off by receipt of another signal pulse on the designated channel.

"listen to channel number ..." - Which channel controls this action.
"control servo number ..." - The servo to be controlled, numbered from 0-4.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the first position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the first motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the second position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the second motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.

Move the servo motor from where ever it currently is to this new location after some delay.

"listen to channel number ..." - Which channel controls this action.
"control servo number ..." - The servo to be controlled, numbered from 0-4.
"wait ... seconds and move to" - Delay before motion for the first position.
- slider control - Choose the position for the first motion. The servo starts at 90° and can be rotated to 0° in one direction or to 180° in the other direction. This is equivalent to starting at 12 o'clock and turning to either 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock.
