    Could someone modify the SCM3 sketch to run the 220v ac servos sold on Ebay and Alibaba?

    I bought one of the setups which includes a motor drive controller, the stepper motor, and a speed reducer. Its looks to be a really nice power system.

    Grigory has built a 6dof that looks awesome.

    I know there is a fair amount of interest in this power system .

    Thanks.

    Hi T R Para,

    You're right, I'm indeed looking for a sketch for the Arduino Mega.
    I have a Servo Motor of Mige type: 80ST-M02430
    With controller type: DS100S-75-M-5V.
    I can not get it right and am very fond of the Simulator of Grigory.

    I get stuck around the Sketch and the wiring diagram from the Arduino to the Motor controller.

    I will add the data so that someone can watch and help me.

    Thanks.

    Best Regards.
    Eric.

    Any progress on this? I took a look at SMC3 wiring guide (the picture with pin assignments), and it seems like the wiring is very similar to that of the SFX-100 simfeeback (they used Leonardo board, not Uno).

    ENA seems to be the DIR
    PWM seems to be STEP
    Pot could be the servo ENA (enable - SRV-ON)

    These are just assumptions I came up with after looking at the motor driver boards and how they connect to the Arduino Uno. I am probably totally wrong, but i have similar motors, 90ST-M02430.

    Does the code need to be changed for it to work with linear style actuators like sfx-100?

    if you have a 90ST-M02430 they do not use pots. Its a digital encoder.
    The Arduino mega board is used because it can pulse much faster than the others.
    The only working system I know of is Gregory's. So you might want to try that first.
