2 servos instead of one ? #4

Closed aras-vbo closed 1 year ago

Hello Julien,

Vincent from France. Many thanks for your project ! I'm currently making a cover for my remote telescope. This is just an idea. Is it possible to control 2 servos from the Xiao at the same time instead of one ? My telescope has a diameter of 250 mm and I'm not able to make a dust cap in just one piece. I need to use 2 parts in shapes of half-circle. Do you think it could be difficult to add this feature, by changing the Xiao firmware only ?

I think I will try for fun !

Vincent

It is absolutely possible! I can imagine that one servo will start early and the second servo will follow shortly after, and there will be a small lip to overlap the two panels. Best of luck!
