Control Servos

COMPONENT MODELING | COMPONENT SCRIPTING

Python API can be used to control servos during a simulation. For example, you can write a component script that can manage the movements and target values of joints assigned to a servo.

In this tutorial you learn how to:

Get and set joint targets for servo movements.
Use joints as triggers and conditions for moving other joints.
Calculate and set cycle times for servo movements.
Operate a servo in heartbeat mode and use events to modify joint targets

Software Version: 4.0.2 or higher
