ServoCity Scoop Ep2 Servo-Driven Gear Racks, Controlling Brushed DC Motors

In this episode we take a look at goBILDA Servo-Driven Gear Rack Kits. We also discuss how to control the speed and direction of motors in a Tech Tips segment as well as give some edge-case advice in a new segment we call "Betcha Didn't Know". Last but not least we introduce a new product giveaway segment!

Great tip about rotating the transmitter 45 deg! Never thought of it that way. 😀.

[@mattpulliam2352]

I wish ServoCity kept a "New Products" section on the website like the Featured Products section, so I don't miss any new releases. I only become aware when some are mentioned on the videos. Thanks, M

[@mootzeroni]

A Stick of Joy.

[@kraigallen4198]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@DavidSchulpius]

I have been watching your videos for years. They keep getting better and more useful. Every time I think I know something about something you guys come along and show me more. I absolutely love the improvements that have been done to the Servo-Driven Gear Rack kit. I only wish it would be able to extend further. I'd use it to extend the arms out of the torso of my full sized Lost In Space Robot. I need about 16". Looks like the Servo-Driven Gear Rack only goes about 9". :-( Either way, what a wonderful product. Thank you.

[@chriswest3414]

Nice work! Thanks!

[@jeffersontechnohuskies738]

That joystick looks really cool.

[@ryanmast6977]

Great video and I enjoy the giv-a-way wheel, Nicely done! Also I'd enjoy a Joy stick and could put it to good use right a way.

[@alwomack1966]

Great information, thanks guys

[@ServoCity]

Thanks for watching!

[@johntino5889]

Nice video. Cool stuff!

[@powertothesheller825]

I wonder if I could make an attachment for my tablesaw using that servo driven gear rack kit. 60 pounds would probably be enough to drive a board through while keeping hands at a safe distance. Not sure if I would use it, but that's my first idea for it.

[@shanebekker]

What type of motor/s would you suggest being able to drive a three wheeled trolley carrying around 200kg.

[@BrendanJOTooleLV]

The new gear rack system looks great!

[@gustavocamacho6250]

Hi, please I need this servo but for a 60cm lineal movement, has this long?
thanks

[@HenryBass]

60 lbsf for the gear rack! I'd love to see the test rig itself in an upcoming video, as well as other applications. What about position feedback for the gear rack? I imagine it's like a stepper! Count your output pulses, and assume the servo has moved where you commanded it (in continuous mode). Right?

[@kennetholsen3836]

Like the gear rack. Could see applications in model railroading.

[@ryanmorgan8787]

Nice info

[@johnjsmith570]

Gear Rack Kit looks like a great upgrade.

[@emmadeats9570]

Interested to know if a speed or motor controller can be used in FTC competition?

[@zugaldia]

My kingdom for a joystick.

[@thinkdomotic4915]

👍❤️

[@ryanmast6977]

Wait a minute, what exactly happens when the Give-A way Wheel lands on the guys face??

[@thinkdomotic4915]

Thanks a lots. I m your customer. I m interested in many products but we have in Morocco the problem of customs which are too expensive

[@whogben]

Go go gadget joystick!

[@TimothyDSwieter]

So you say the gear rack will push 60 lbs, I'd love to see a video actually showing this power!

[@runswithlasers]

Great video, guys. I use your servos to control laser lightshow art devices.

[@ServoCity]

That's a great idea, thank you, please send us a video at [e-mail], we would love to see it.

[@MoralRichMedia]

Welllll I'm a servo city super fan.... annnnnd I build custom Radio transmitters....(take a look)... sooo I'd love to win that Joystick...lol :)

[@newt2010]

Pick me. Pick me. All kidding aside. Always love your videos. I use one of your joysticks on a camera jib crane. Use it to control the PT head. Cheers

[@michaelzajac5284]

Where's software robot?
