Servo control with Max/Msp

Dear Reader,

I am about to use the Arduino to control some servos with it. The idea is to have 4 servos controlled by Max/Msp. I would like to use external power source (4-7V).

Well, I was experimenting with the examples provided. I was trying to mix "Sweep" and "Dimmer" but I am not good at C so it did not work.

Now only Dimmer (with Max/Msp) works but I could not really have control over the servo.

Could anyone please provide me with some instructions or with a basic code I could use for this project.

Any help appreciated,

Krisztian

Im in a similar situation to start building a robot with servos and light sensors. I thought to follow this project here http://arduinofun.com/ They going to use the roboduino board (has more servos than the standard arduino).

The second approach i might use is this project here http://www.instructables.com/id/Build_an_autonomous_Wall_E_Robot

Well maybe i use the roboduino (Lars/Bob2) with a wall-e model, because the autonomous wall e pcb is closed source ... or i try both ... but i think it has to be an autonomous bot with IR sensoring.

And ofc im still open for other ideas/approaches solutions.

Cheers

hi,
well I was not thinking about such an advanced things like robots... But the links look very promising. Thanks...

I will be trying to recode the arduino patch for max/msp so i can send max/msp signals to the servo.

best
