Re: Legality of servo actuators
Quote:
R54 Servos must be connected only to the PWM ports on the roboRIO, either directly or through the
PWM ports on a WCP Spartan Sensor Board. They must not be connected to the MXP, motor controllers, or relay modules
Since those linear actuators also need to be connected to a power source (such as the PDP) they would not be legal.
