User Manual

The Channel Settings tab in the Maestro
Control Center.
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
