Hello, I would like to ask what would be the best set up for driving 52 6V servo motors with Arduinos:
my questions fall into following:
how many servos should i attach to one Arduino and which Arduino board would be the best?
now i am testing 6 motors on Arduino Uno with external power supply. Whenever I upload a sketch motors start moving before executing the program itself. How to eliminate that?
The standard Servo library controls upto 12 servos per 16-bit timer. The Uno has one 16-bit timer, the Mega four 16-bit timers, so 12 and 48 servos respectively (a little short of 52, alas,
it might be possible to tweak the Servo library to support 13 servos per timer to fix that).
Alternatively there are shields that drive multiple servos in various ways I believe.
