Control Arrangements

Wifi Camera

Hbridge
I am relatively new to robotics, so here goes a dumb question. Since EzB can drive servos, what is the advantage or reason for using an Hbridge? Does it drive the same kind of servos or does it drive bigger servos? Thanks.

Help With Servos
Hello I'm new to EZ-Robot. I have been on the boards for some time but just recently purchased 3 EZ-B4 boards. I have been playing with them and cant get a servo to a darn thing. I'm using standard servos. My servos are rated up 6 Volts. So I'm running the EZ-B4 on 5 volts. The EZ-B4 reports low battery constantly and no matter what I do I cant get...
