Re: servo board

I just took a quick look at both of the mentioned boards and noticed
that the servo amp seems to require the other components (Pico) and I
didn't see any volt/amp numbers for the other. Which makes me
question the total price of the application.

I noticed you used the words "cost-effective" in your question, which
leads me to believe this is a hobby application, is this the case?

To recommend a controller we would have to know more about your
application. For example if you were just doing a CNC mill or
something Geckos are the way to go(my opinion), but on the other hand
if you are building a teachable CNC arm or something like that you
would need the additional features offered by these products and
companies.

Also what kind of servo are you talking about? (I'm guessing brushed
DC) How many volts? Amps (cont)? Amps (peak)? Motor torque
constant?

When it comes to picking a controller (either servo or stepper) all
these factors come into play it unjust of us to make an opinion
without these.

So include a pinch more and we (open forum) will probably be able to
give a better opinion.
