Hi all, I just got a hold of a SV203B, a servo, connector cable, and battery, and am trying to get the servo to respond to any command from HyperTerminal or...
Hi Emily, First, make sure you're not running with 4AA batteries. Use a 9V battery instead. After you've verified that you're connected to the board, you can...
This is just a reminder to those of you who haven't ventured there, or are new - there ARE freebie programs for use with the SV203 series in the FILES area....
Hello my friends, I'll be brutally honest. I have never done anything like this before. I have a little experience using a Parallax PIC board to control a ...
Hi all! I am trying to control my SV203 board via hyperterminal, but cannot succeed. I use bauderate 19200, port 1, 8 bytes, 1 stopbit, no parity. And then i...
Paulina, The default baud rate for the SV203 is 9600. Give that a shot. Or download the ComtestSV203 program from the files (Pontech Control folder) area, it...
Kat, For the JP1 cut, take a look at the FAQ. It answers that question directly (no pictures though). If you're using 8 independent relays, then you'll need 8...
We have moved the PONTECH wiki... Currently it is accessible at: http://pontech.globedrop.com It is publicly viewable and if a login account is created it can...
I just received a pontech SV203. I connect the board to the serial port without connecting a servo, then I connect the power supply (6 V) and run one of the...
It sounds like the typical "cryin' for more power" symptom. The current draw from the larger servo is probably significantly higher than the smaller one. As a...
Hi there, We're doing an IT project which involves using your SV203 servo controller to control our RC car as a demonstration of technology. We're using a...
Again, this sounds like a power starved SV203... Please read: http://www.globedrop.com/wiki/products:sv203 Also, regarding a speed controller, please read: ...
Hallo All : I want to share tutorial electronics circuit diagram about alarms, audio, car, computers, design idea, fun circuits, generator, light, led,...
Hi all. Sorry for my bad english... I would like to drive two electronic speed controllers with the SV203 (plus two servo) but if I understand well, the common...
Hello all, I'm french and I would like to buy one SV203 controller. But there is just two places to buy it. - www.acroname.com but they not responding to my...
Hi, I may have lost something in the translation, but if you're looking for PWM-to-speed-control, I think there's a post recently about it. Check out...
Don't worry, PONTECH is ultimately where you're going to get it from - their form IS secure, from what I can see. I'm not sure about foreign shipping with...
Thanks for the link. I need to break the power lead coming from the ESC but can it supplies it to the other servo motor connected to the SV203? Like that, the...
Actually, the PONTECH order form IS NOT secure and this is why we have implemented PayPal. We actually can take payment via PayPal for foreign orders even...
Yes, you can have the ESC supply power to the other servos connected to the SV203, but if you do you need to cut the jump trace at position JP1 to keep the...
Does it mean that this 2 inputs can be used for exemple to receive 2 channels from a rc receiver ? What sort of values can then be read by this 2 inputs from...
That should work fine, but as you add servos and your battery gets drained, you'll eventually experience the dreaded "brownout twitches". You can certainly...
Well, it appears as though there are no "higher level commands" to support this. Thus, you'd have to consult with the datasheets for the 16C73B (at ...
Hi, I'm using the SV203 into a airplane for a stand alone mode, but I wan't to be able to take the control of it throught a receiver. I wanted to use the...
