User Manual

Features
• Three control methods: USB, TTL (5 V) serial,
and internal scripting
• 0.25μs output pulse width resolution
(corresponds to approximately 0.025° for a
typical servo, which is beyond what the servo
could resolve)
• Configurable pulse rate and wide pulse range
(see the Maestro comparison table below)
• 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
• Alternate channel functions allow the channels
to be used as:
◦ General-purpose digital outputs (0 or
5 V)
◦ Analog or digital inputs (channels 0 –
11 can be analog inputs; channels 12+
can be digital inputs)
◦ One channel can be a PWM output
with frequency from 2.93 kHz to
12 MHz and up to 10 bits of resolution
(see Section 4.a for details)
• A simple scripting language lets you program
the controller to perform complex actions even
after its USB and serial connections are
removed
