Does Anyone Know If The Little Servo Tester That Is Going Around

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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.

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:P

:) 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,

Mel
