Overview
Arduino-based EZ Controller is a controller to easily operate / test mightyZAP linear servo actuators.
The features of EZ Controller are as follows.
 Operate the linear actuator simply and easily through various input devices on the board by using the built-in
basic program.
 Various motion programming is available by example program provided from us or by your own coding via
Arduino.
 Connectable with various external accessories. (External switch, etc.)
 No need for a separate circuitry to control the mightyZAP linear actuator. Also, for safety, it is equipped with
power protection circuits for prevention of reverse power, over-current, and static electricity.
1.1 Precautions
The following precautions require special attention when using, so be sure to read them carefully. Please note that
warranty will be void for problems caused by failure to comply with the following.
1.
Do not apply excessive force
when connecting products. Also,
do not apply excessive force to the components
or the pins on the board. It may cause malfunction.
2. Be advised that it may cause a short circuit when connecting
power to the board on the metal plate that is not insulated.
Be
sure to attach the enclosed plastic support
to the board before
use. (See the picture on the right)
3. Since the voltage applied to the EZ controller is directly applied to
the connected actuator,
check the operating voltage range of the
actuator
and
check the polarity
when connecting external power.
Ex) If user connects the actuator whose input voltage is 7.4V (D7
or L7 series) to the board, and accidently connects 12V power to
the board may cause the damage of actuator.
4. When connecting the actuator to the board, make sure to check the polarity of the pins.
It may cause motor or actuator PC board damage.
5.
Use the appropriate connector
to prevent damage due to incorrect insertion.
6.
Apply proper input to each terminal.
Make sure proper signal voltage and pay attention to the proper wiring between power and signal terminal.
7.
Do not overturn the variable resistance knob
when setting the start and end points of the rod.
8. Keep the product away from fire, water, dust and oil and keep the product out of reach of children.
9. This product is designed for indoor use. Please refrain from using outdoors.
1.2 Proper Storage
Do not use or store the product in the following extreme environments. It may cause malfunction or product damage.
 High temperature environment over 60℃ or low temperature below minus 20℃
 Direct sunlight or near fire
 Hot, humid and dusty places
 Severe vibration condition
 Places that can cause static electricity
To prevent short circuit, be sure to
install the enclosed plastic support
before use!
