2023.1.1344.2 Limited Servo Motor
- Bas Botermans
Overview
The Limited Servo Motor is a component to simulate an accelerated rotational motion on an axis. It consists of two components; Physical and Logic. Both are needed to control the motor through a logic adapater (connecting the Limited Servo Motor to an external controller through a Logic Simulator). Adding a Control Panel gives you the option to control the motor.
Cannot rotated more then 180 degrees in single tick.
A succesfully created Limited Servo Motor shows up with this gizmo.
Where to find
The Limited Servo Motor can be found under
Standard Components > Motors > Limited Servo Motor > Add Physical Component
It will automatically be attached to a selected GameObject. Otherwise it will create a new GameObject to attach to.
A WheelJoint will be created automatically, this is part of the component.

How to use
Add a Limited Servo Component to a GameObject, in this case a simple cube.
Add a Kinematics Controller, this can be found under Mechanics > Kinematics > Add Kinematics Controller. Make sure the Cube is parented under the Kinematic Controller in the Hierarchy.
Add a Control Panel and set the Target
Press Play to see the rotation of the cube, controlled by the Limited Servo Motor
