motor control using Diligent Controller and Digital Hitec Servo

[JCG77]

HI there,

Will the digital Hitect 8335 servo motor be compatible with the Diligent Motor adaptor controller?

Thank you for your help,

Hi JCG77,

Here are some links for the motor adapter:

And here are a couple of links for the motor:

Based on a quick look at those links, I suspect that they are compatible because the documentation for the motor adaptor says "*Hobby Servo Motors* J10 and J11 are standard 3-pin hobby servo motor connectors and will work with most popular servo motors with no modification. The PWM control signals are connected directly to the myRIO PWM pins on the MXP port, so no additional wiring is required other than providing external power to J8."

That being said, I think that you should take some time to look through those links to see if they are compatible.  If you have any questions that are more specific, I suggest you contact the motor seller to for more info on the motor.

I did find some motors that came with the Digilent Mechatronics Kit that would make me hesitate to say that this motor is a good fit for the motor adaptor.  But if one of the below motors can work in your project, then I would suggest using it, as you would know it will work with the adaptor and would save you some money:
