- Konfiguracja wstępna: Refer to the programming guide for your specific control board to set the servo ID, baud rate, and operating mode.
4. Tryby pracy
The ST3215 servo supports two primary operating modes:
4.1. Servo Angle Control Mode
In this mode, the servo maintains a specific angular position. You can command the servo to move to any angle within its 360° range with high precision. The 360° magnetic encoder allows for absolute angle control.
4.2. Continuous Rotation Motor Mode
This mode allows the servo to rotate continuously, functioning like a DC motor. You can control the direction and speed of rotation. This is useful for applications requiring continuous movement, such as wheels or conveyor belts.
4.3. Two-Way Feedback
The serial bus interface enables the servo to provide real-time feedback to the control system. This includes:
- Pozycja: Current angular position of the servo.
- Obciążenie: Current load experienced by the servo.
- Prędkość: Current rotational speed.
- Wejście Voltage: Objętość w czasie rzeczywistymtage supplied to the servo.

4.4. Calibrating Middle Position
The servo allows for easy calibration of its middle position:
- Install the servo at any desired 360° orientation.
- Using the control interface, select the option to set the current position as the middle position.
- Confirm the setting. The servo will now consider this new position as its neutral or middle point.
