Hello!
So I've been battling with maths recently and trying to figure out the torque required to shift my robot. I've got some on order but they'll be a month or two before they arrive. In the meantime, I'm thinking about using a pair of modified servos. However, I'm conscious of the power draw and figured with me already having a working set of H-Bridges on the chassis, I wondered if anyone has ever dabbled with powering (or even controlling) modified servos externally from the EZB? Am I bonkers to think that if PWM wire from the servo goes to the EZB as normal, and the ground is common, it will work? confused
in your picture Black is ground Red is +5 white is signal
you got it right
Thank You Luis. I did not think I had too many? Steve S
@Steve, I understood what you were saying about the using the white signal wire from the servo.
@Richard, did happy hour start early, lol?
@Justin What I read was that Steve seemed to suggest that you connect the external battery to the signal wire of the servo... I said that was incorrect... You attach the red power wire of the servo to an external battery.... It was open for interpolation I guess...
This is what Steve said....
It looks like he was telling the op to connect the signal wire of the servo to an external battery, no?
Thank you Justin, In all fairness to Richard R, maybe I could have explained it more. Thank you, Steve S
I knew where you coming from too @Richard. I was just giving you a hard time
