How to attach a servo motor to VOXL 2
-
Hello,
I am currently working on a project involving the VOXL 2 platform and would like to control a servo motor within my existing system architecture. Below is a summary of the current configuration:
- RC, GPS, and Magnetometer are connected to the J19 port.
- An FPV ESC is connected to the J18 port.
- The M0151 expansion board is connected to a Doodle Labs module.
I am considering two possible approaches for integrating servo motor control:
-
Using the IO Expansion Board via a free UART Port on the M0151 Board
I plan to connect the IO Expansion Board to an available UART port on the M0151. I would like to confirm whether this setup would support reliable servo motor control. -
Connecting the IO Expansion Board to J19 and connecting receiver to J2 terminal of IO Expansion Board
Could you please advise on the feasibility and potential limitations of both configurations? I would appreciate any insights or recommendations you may have.
Please feel free to reach out if any further clarification is needed.

@ashwin Are you looking to control the servo via PX4 or with some custom software? What will the servo be doing?
