Digital servo - 21 Channel Servo Controller

[coparu67]

Hi
I'd like to control a HITEC HSR-5980SG digital servo
with an AXE031 21 Channel Servo Controller (PICAXE-18M2).
Is this possible?

When I look for specifications on the internet,
sometimes I find that it is a stardard servo
and others that I need to deal with a serial prococol.
Could you help me?
Thanks

The HITEC datasheet indicates it is pulse controlled, 1500us neutral position, so should be controllable by any servo controller.

Perhaps post links to the information which suggests it requires a serial protocol and members will be able to assess the correctness or context of what is said there.

Thank you hippy, this is just enough for me.

I imagine both kind of control is possible

But maybe, this HMI serial control it's a bit difficult for me.
