Description

M5Stack Catch Unit is a compact servo gripper unit powered by an SG92R servo motor. The M5Stack Catch Unit uses a PWM signal to drive the gear rotation, giving small robotics projects controlled gripping and releasing movement.

This SG92R servo gripper is built with LEGO 8 mm round hole compatibility, so the SG92R servo gripper can be integrated with LEGO-style structures, RoverC builds, robotic arms, and gripper vehicles. The LEGO compatible gripper format helps makers add a ready-made claw mechanism without designing a full linkage from scratch.

With 4.2-6V input support, a 90 degree gripper opening angle, and support for UiFlow, MicroPython, and Arduino development, M5Stack Catch Unit is suitable for fast education, prototyping, and small automation experiments that need a PWM gripper unit.

Notice: Because the gripper opening and closing angle is 90 degrees, keep the servo rotation angle within 0-45 degrees. Use PWM at 50Hz with a 0.5ms-1ms pulse range to prevent stalling that may burn out the servo.

Other Content

When M5Stack Catch Unit is connected to Port B, the M5Core G26 pin maps to the Unit Catch signal line, while 5V and GND map directly to the gripper power and ground pins. Check the linkage travel before operation so the SG92R servo gripper does not stall at the end of its 0-45 degree control range.

FAQ

What does M5Stack Catch Unit do?

M5Stack Catch Unit is a PWM gripper unit that uses an SG92R servo motor to open and close a small claw for gripping and releasing actions.

How should the SG92R servo gripper be controlled?

Control the SG92R servo gripper at 50Hz and keep the servo rotation within 0-45 degrees, using a 0.5ms-1ms pulse range to avoid stalling.

Can this LEGO compatible gripper work with RoverC?

Yes. The LEGO compatible gripper structure is listed as compatible with RoverC, and this LEGO compatible gripper can also be used in LEGO-style robotic arms and gripper vehicles.

Which development platforms are supported?

The M5Stack Catch Unit can be developed with UiFlow, MicroPython, and Arduino workflows for small robotic gripper projects.
