The Micro Maestro is a highly versatile servo controller and general-purpose I/O board in a highly compact (0.85"×1.20") package. It supports three control methods: USB for direct connection to a computer, TTL serial for use with embedded systems, and internal scripting for self-contained, host controller-free applications.

The channels can be configured as servo outputs for use with radio control RC servos or electronic speed controls (ESCs), as digital outputs, or as analog inputs. The extremely precise, high-resolution servo pulses have a jitter of less than 200 ns, making these servo controllers well suited for high-performance applications such as robotics and animatronics, and built-in speed and acceleration control for each channel make it easy to achieve smooth, seamless movements without requiring the control source to constantly compute and stream intermediate position updates to the Micro Maestro. 

This fully-assembled version ships with header pins installed.

Features

• Three control methods: USB, TTL (5 V) serial, and internal scripting
• 0.25 μs output pulse width resolution (corresponds to approximately 0.025° for a typical servo, which is beyond what the servo could resolve)
• Pulse rate configurable from 33 Hz to 100 Hz ⁽²⁾
• Wide pulse range of 64 μs to 3280 μs ⁽²⁾
• Individual speed and acceleration control for each channel
• Channels can be optionally configured to go to a specified position or turn off on startup or error
• Channels can also be used as general-purpose digital outputs or analog inputs
• A simple scripting language lets you program the controller to perform complex actions even after its USB and serial connections are removed
• Comprehensive user's guide
• Free configuration and control application for Windows makes it easy to:
• Configure and test your controller
• Create, run, and save sequences of servo movements for animatronics and walking robots
• Write, step through, and run scripts stored in the servo controller
