Lattebox Servo Controller for LEGO NXT
I use LEGO NXT with powerful servo controller (Lattebox Servo Controller) it's a very cool and power ful servo controller
1. Support hardware muti-group sync work
2. Dynamic channel unload,
3. Setup different angle speed,
4. Position feedback.
And a add Lattebox new product LEGO NXT Extension,(NXTe) it can support 4 LSC (can support 40 CH Servos) and per NXT have 4 ports support can upgrade to 160 Servos. It should be very cool.
This is installion photo.
I already did these APIs for NBC Language for LEGO NXT:
Write Mode Part
lsc_sync
write_angle- can setup earch servo position
write_delay - can setup earch servo has its own speed, so servo can start at the same time but have different speed angle speed.
write_angle_enable- which servo should be enable or disable(unload mode)
read_angle- feedback servo status.
read_angle_enable- feedback servo enable or disable.
I will post some news and video on my Personal UAV-Puav Blog

Yu,
Very nice work. There are others working in a similar direction (and prototype products that some of us have and have been building UAVs around, although we can't share details yet). All will be revealed in about a month, so stay tuned....sorry to be so mysterious!

Hello! Chris,
Thank you. Now I also would like try replace NXT Firmware to OSEK RTOS (RealTime OS). But now I am keep work on the read servo status API. I think that is cool and good for RC and Robot player.
Regards,
Yu

Yu,
This is what I was hinting about: A HiTechnic product that interfaces with RC servos (and a lot more) http://firsttechchallenge.blogspot.com/2008/03/sensors-motors-expan...
The news is now coming out, so I'm free to talk about it...

Hello! Chris,
LSC we have some patent pending algorithm and architected(e.g dynamic group, sync CTL, and hardware motion check). The chip was design by Lattebox. And it can share NXT loading, can make frame base CTL very easy and smooth. One NXT can have 4 NXTe, per NXTe can support 4 LSC, per LSC can support 10 RC Servo, total can support 160 RC Servo.
We are also putting Lattebox 3-Axis Magnetic with -Axis Acceleration with NXTe.
Regards,
Yu

Hello! Chirs,
I can ship a to you (a NXTe and LSC). Now I can provide NBC(NeXT Byte Code) API and SDK, and PC Base SDK (Use MS VC++ Express and VC# Express) You can test some thing on the pc. If the test is ok them you can put them with NXT and use NBC to control it. Now I am some colleage is work on NXC (C style ) API for NXT player.
Please mail to me. I will provide the buy infromation to you.
Regards,
Yu
