Puppet III Joystick- Servo Controller
(BPE No. PJS-0010)
Introduction
The Puppet III Board is a manual dual channel
servo controller and interface capable of recording
up to 13 minutes of servo movement and
designed to connect with many standard game
control joysticks.
It features loop playing with variable delay
between loops, synchronized playback of several
modules, servo movement limit setting and a
single relay digital channel output.
2 Servo output channels, and 1 digital output channel each capable of recording and playback
of up to 13 minutes of action for servos and output relay.
Digital channel output with relay and wire connection terminal ( rated 2 Amp @ 24 VDC )
Uses standard game joystick to control servos and digital output.
Manual control and Programmed servo, digital channel control
Many other features
Connections
Power Connector - The controller module requires between 7.5 and 9V DC (center positive
power connection) at 2 Amp to operate standard servos.
Servo Connectors - standard servo connector. Take note of the polarity of the connection. On
some servos yellow is used in place of white as the signal control line.
Record LED (R ) - Red LED flashes when waiting to start recording and is on continuously
during actual program recording.
Playback LED (P) - Green LED indicates playback in operation. Flashes during the delay
period for loop operation setting.
Mode Jumper - Move the jumper block to select either Recording or Playback mode.
Range Jumper - Select servo output pulse to either 1-2 msecs (90 degree range) or 0.5 to
2.5 msecs (180 degree range). Note that not all servos can rotate a full 180 degrees and if
using the 180 degree range take care that the servo is not driven against its mechanical
stops. (Servo will shutter, may also hum if driven past available range.)
Limit Jumper - Set to Yes if you wish to set the servo end position limits at start-up. In normal
play mode set to No.

- Page 2 Puppet III Board Page 2 Pupper III Controller Green LEDs - Elapsed time indication. All green leds ON indicate nearing the end of recording memory time. Red LEDs - Indicate which servo is active during limit setting and during a pause in recording - light's when the current servo position is the same as the last recorded position -to allows seamless appending to existing programming records.
- Page 3 Power Supply The Puppet III board will work with power supplies between 7.5 and 9 Vdc. It is recommended to use a fully regulated 9 Vdc @ 2Amp supply. If you use a power supply larger than 7.5 Vdc, and you find the PCB becoming very hot, reduce the incoming voltage or use smaller servos- the board has been designed for standard R/C servos.
