Servo Issue With Axon
Mastermime:
Hello everyone,
This post is also in software (Servo Code), but I figure this particular issue deals with electrical.
So here is my setup: 12v > Axon II > 12v Pins > L7805 linear regulator > servo
My servo draws 350ma max. I will be operating at half speed though so the current draw will be less. I just wanted to confirm that this little circuit will solve my problem. I know I'll be wasting 2.5-3 watts, but that doesn't really matter to me.
Thanks
Jason

What little circuit?
Mastermime:
Actually it hardly could be considered a circuit. Those would be the 3 pins on the Axon II. All I'm doing is placing a regulator between 12v unregulated pin and the servo to drop it down to a voltage the servo can handle.
12v unregulated pin-----------------------LM7805----------Servo
Servo pin-------------------------------------------------------Servo
GND-------------------------------------------------------------Servo
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
Gertlex:
Presumably the regulator has a ground, too. :)
Mastermime:
Oh yeah I forgot to add that in there.
