Car wiper motor.  Note the threaded shaft.  Will have to deal with this somehow.

Having problems writing a C program to talk to the Digital Servo controller. I can see the serial breakout LED blink when I send the 3 bytes, but the servo doesn't respond. Two things to look into: 1. Is the program working ok, at the correct baud rate (9600b). 2. Is there a serial cable wiring problem. The board only needs two wires. I am sure I have the correct ones, but does the serial port need some sort of feed back, ie. DTR-CTS etc. Note: I am attempting to run my Mark I ASC on FreeBSD. Please forgive any blantent errors in the code, as I know very little about writting C code :-(

this is an attempt to build a Mark I autonomous boat.

It is expected to run on sealed lead acid batteries and therefore only have a runtime life of perhaps 1-2 hours. Later on, when funds are available, a solar panel will be intergrated into the boat.

I finaly got around to setting up a CMS for a SWASC web page.

This is mainly being created to track my building of a Autonomous Surface Craft.

Don't have the details on the make or model or the motor.

With Negative lead connected to the brown wire, and 5V or 12V connecting to the Red or Green wires...

Tested the Bluebird BMS20620MG Servo to see what the current draw is. Using a Digital Miltimeter I measured 300-500mA while it was moving, and then 5.4mA while at rest
