We’ve been working on a linear actuator motion system and have been experimenting with the RMCS-2207 DC Servo Motor from RoboKitsWorld.com. It’s a really neat package, coupling together a high-torque DC motor, a gear train, an optical encoder, and a 5v serial-controllable motor controller all in one: ideal for pairing with an Arduino control system. Code for our controller demo setup is up on github.

Hi all,
Great video. Was wondering if you would be able to go into some more detail about the connections from the motor to the arduino/shield.
I currently have an Arduino UNO with the adafruit LCD shield attached and am trying to understand how to connect the RMCS-2204 in order to take advantage of the encoder.
Please let me know if you can help and thank you in advance!

Hi Mark, the arduino serial send is connected to the motor, and the bluetooth in in connected to the serial in.

Can you please specify the connection, LIke which wire(SDA/SCL/RXD/TXD) going to which port?

can you tell me, how did you power the motor.

For this, I have 12v power provided direct to the motor and also going in parallel to the arduino (as you can see in the video).

which driver you used for motor
Josh Harle

The driver is built into the motor unit and controlled via serial, etc.

Is it possible to use PWM and vary duty cycle ?

To be honest I’ve not looked at other controls from serial, but actually I think it is PPM. Have a look at the PDF manual on the linked page.

I just got this motor,and I haven’t had any luck moving it at all. Are there tutorials you recommend to get started? Is (Direction/ pulse pins positive) used interchangeably with (direction an pulse negative) ? I would appreciate your feedback!

Can you give it a go with serial at least to test it? I’m sorry I have no experience with other forms of control.

I just realized that my motor RMCS-2251 only receives step/pulse and serial will not work. That was my fault. I appreciate you help. Thank you!
