DSSERVO 3225 Servo Compatibility Inquiry

Hi @Athena, I am curious about the compatibility of a 25 kg DSSERVO 3225 digital servo, which operates at 4.8 to 6.8 volts DC, with my EZBv4. Additionally, I'm considering placing a 10F capacitor between the positive and negative wires. Would this assist or interfere with the servo's operation when using the EZBv4? Thank you, Jack
