Does anyone know if the little servo tester that is going around will work with 7.2 volts DC? it says 6VDC on the cover. I want to test some servos before installing them.
Thanks in Advance.

Hmmmmm - I haven't tried mine above 6V
What servo tester? My servo city servo tester does 7 volts
There is a servo tester going around? Neat, I have wanted to get one, perhaps if I don't wear my toque I will catch it
haha!

:) All humor aside... this looks like one I was considering ordering. I would think the issue would be more the servo limitations than the tester... at least within reasonable voltages. What I have read says that "in general" servos should not be feed more then 5v. That said, some may take more than others... I doubt this tester regulates the incoming voltage but you could test that with a meter before plugging in a servo.
Standards servos run 6v and high torque 7.4 volts. 7.4 vvolts could run your servos hot if they aren't made for it.
OK, Thanks, Guys. I do have two high torque ones I need to test. They are brand new and when i hooked them up to the EZB, the fuse blew. So, I want to check them with the little tester B4 I hook them up to the EZB. Make sense?
Josh, you have so many creative juices, I am standing over here in Nashville trying to catch some of the spill-over. You are the closest EZB guy near me.
Thanks,

.
If you dont do this those servos will pop the fuse every time
It is pretty cool your just a couple hours away. So mel any pics or plans for your robots?.
Thanks, Josh for the drawing. I have a surgery to get over with and then I may be able to get some pix going. I was so hoping to finish it before the surgery, but I am waiting on parts to get in. So, after my surgery is done, a week or so. And, when the parts come in, I will try to take some pix.
Of course, I think I posted somewhere else that I have completely torn Marty apart. I have some major stuff to do on her. Hopefully, she will become Super Marty. I will use the same head and neck, but I am rebuilding the robot so she can be a Tele-presence robot. Also, I have GOT to do something about the Navigation (NEVER EVER worked right.) But, that is not EZB's fault, just my lack of knowledge about what I need to do it. I am a little bit concerned about the Heat since I will put her guts inside a trashcan. here are a few pix coming up. Nothing much to see.
;)
Here are some if I can get them loaded.
here is the one I am sort of copying off of.
better picture of Marty.
The neck and the head came from Robotz012248
And, the arms are going to be off of the Hazbot robot BOB.
