pros and cons of moters and servos

[Jed]

what are the differences of moters and servos i am using the Axon

[SmAsH]

motors will require a h-bridge to drive them as connecting them to the axon directly will fry the pin.
servos are a dc motor, a gearbox and a h-bridge all in one nice, neat package... but they need to be modified to rotate continuously... there are hundreds of topics in the forum about this, search it.

Hi,

motors will require a h-bridge

Nope, they'll require some kind of driver, of which an H-bridge is just one example.
(Capital "H" in H-bridge please, that's the figure that gave the circuit its name - an h-bridge must be an H-bridge where the rightmost top transistor has gone permanently O.C. - which, by incident, is pretty rare, considering that the typical failure mode for a transistor is shorted).

he he..

To answer the original question...

A motor is a motor.

A Servo is a device that contains a motor along with a closed loop system, driver circuitry, gearing, and 1 wire communications.

To put it short:
A servo is an all in 1 package that has restricted movement unless you are willing to modify it.

A motor is 1 single part of a drive system.
