do i just connect the power terminal directly to the voltage? without any resistor???
anyone has worked with this servo before? how much current does it take?
also i would like to know if this servo is able to turn 180 degrees without modification?some websites says it only turns 90 degrees without modification,. and i cant find a datasheet for this servo
I give it 5 volts straight from the voltage regulator and it works fine. As for current it takes less than an amp for sure, as I'm running three servos off the same 1.5 A voltage regulator
wha?! noooo don't regulate servo voltage! (unless your batteries are greater than 6V and you need a cheap/fast solution)you want the servos directly connected to the battery
But hey, why would I not want to regulate servo voltage?
how much current does the control terminal take?
Why not just use 5AA (for 6V) and ditch the regulators?Your question (and the fact its been asked several times before) has inspired me to update my servo tutorial:http://www.societyofrobots.com/actuators_servos.shtml#regulate
the most important q is how much current does the control terminal draws?
Consider the servo control lead to be equivalent to a microcontroller I/O connection. The current draw will probably be measured in microamps.
my micro pin can provide 20 milliamps .
