The FAME Smart Servo Nodes are devices for powering other FAME Smart devices (coming soon) with servos separately. They can also be used separately for your own projects involving servos.
This is based on my free model of the XIAO Bus Servo Adapter Case except it adds support for the two popular antenna types. Most of the XIAO boards really need a better antenna to function well, rather than either no antenna, or a tiny one on the board.
Parts
There are a few ways to buy the electronic parts for this confusingly and this should be done with care, however the basic components are:
4x M2 inserts (ruthex or CNC kitchen are perfect)
4x M2x8 screws
XIAO ESP32-C3
XIAO Bus Servo Adapter
A supported antenna (see below)
There are two versions available:
 | One supports the flexible antenna that is available separately here and/or bundled with some (but not all) ESP32-C3 boards. |
 | The other design supports the larger 2.4GHz rod antenna available here for the XIAO ESP32-C3. |
Purchasing
The ESP32-C3 board is available separately here. I think all the options except tape and reel include the flexible antenna, however you should verify this.
The bus servo board is available by itself here but note that it is also included in this package with a XIAO ESP32-C3, but not with an antenna.
Building
This guide assumes the headers have been soldered to the XIAO ESP32-C3, if you have purchased one without the pre-soldered you should do this (ensuring the pins are perfectly straight) first!
Please be careful inserting the antenna onto the XIAO controller - I try and push down directly and firmly from above until it pops with something small and hard that wont damage anything if it slips.
The upper case part needs the 4 inserts carefully inserted into these points. Take care to do this precisely and not too slowly, otherwise these points may melt and deform. |  |
Following this if you are using the flexible antenna variant, insert the antenna into the slot and board in the case and screw it up. With the other model you will need to hold a screwdriver into the hole where the antenna mount goes to be able to attach the nut from the other side, than you can attach the antenna.
