API Guide

This is a short introduction of the OpenServo API functions. This is an explanation of how to interface with the OpenServo's various functions and registers.

For a one page overview of the OpenServo register definition see the TWI protocol page

Set Servo parameters

The linked pages below show how to communicate with your OpenServo in order to set some of it's many functions

Set Position	Set the position of the servo
Set the servo address	Configure the device address of the servo on the TWI/I2C bus
Configure PID	Configure the servo response parameters
Servo specific configuration	Configure servo max and min positions, as well as deadband and reverse seek
Servo commands	Send a command to the OpenServo to stop, start or reset
Motion Profiles	Program the OpenServo to follow complex hermite curves
R/C PWM Motion	Run your OpenServo from an R/C controller

Get Servo parameters

These pages give information on how to get some of the servo state information out of the OpenServo

You can also read any of the registers defined above.

Get Position	Get the current position of the servo
Get Speed	Get the current velocity of the servo
Get Current	Get the current reading from the servo
Get Voltage	Request a voltage reading from the servo
