tv: Servo Animation

Season 3 : Ep. 6 | 4:18



In this episode we plug in our hacked servo. This hack allows us to not only tell the servo what to do, but also record movement. One application of this is to record a manual motion while the servo is disabled, then enable the servo and play the motion back! - Season 3 : Ep. 6 For more episodes, visit: http://tv.onshoulders.org
