DF9GMS 180°

Document Pictures

Micro Servo DF9GMS from DFRobot, this servo features a high-strength ABS transparent case with internal high-precision nylon gear set, precision control circuit and high-end lightweight hollow cup motor, resulting in a weight of only 9g for this mini servo, while the output torque reaches an amazing 1.6kg/cm.

Technical Specifications:
Operating Voltage: 4.8V
Torque: 1.6kg/cm (4.8V)
Speed: 0.14 seconds/60 degrees (4.8V)
Operating Temperature: -30 to +60 degrees Celsius
Deadband Width: 0.5 milliseconds
Physical Size: 23x12.2x29mm
Weight: 9g

Build environment on Ubuntu20.04

You can also use Ubuntu installed in a virtual machine, Ubuntu installed via WSL on Windows, or Ubuntu-based systems using Docker.

  • Install the tools that compile dependencies.

    sudo apt-get install wget git make
  • Get example source code

    git clone https://github.com/milkv-duo/duo-examples.git
  • Prepare compilation environment

    cd duo-examples
    source envsetup.sh

    The first time you source it, the required SDK package will be automatically downloaded, which is approximately 180MB in size. Once downloaded, it will be automatically extracted to the duo-examples directory with the name duo-sdk. When source it next time, if the directory already exists, it will not be downloaded again.

  • Compile testing

    Take hello-world as an example, enter the hello-world directory and execute make

    cd hello-world
    make

    After the compilation is successful, send the generated helloworld executable program to the Duo device through the network port or the USB network. For example, the USB-NCM method supported by the default firmware, Duo’s IP is 192.168.42.1, the user name is root, and the password is milkv

    scp helloworld [email protected]:/root/

    After sending successfully, run ./helloworld in the terminal logged in via ssh or serial port, and it will print Hello, World!

    [root@milkv]~# ./helloworld
    Hello, World!

    At this point, our compilation and development environment is ready for use.

Operation Procedure

Next, compile it. Taking df9gms as an example, enter the directory of the example and simply execute make

cd df9gms
make it

Make an error report and source it. After compiling successfully, you will get the df9gms executable program. As shown in the figure below.

Then upload df9gms to the root path of the development board, and enter ./df9gms to run it. The screenshot of successful running is shown below
