Quick Guide to Servos

Hobby servos are a wonderfully simple way to add precision motion to any project. From the tiny micro servos used to pilot R/C aircrafts to the jumbo class servos when you really need some torque, if you learn to control one, you can control them all. Here we take a look at the three main servo sizes, and a couple of quick and simple builds to demonstrate what servos can do.

Would love to see more of this content. Great work.

would love to see a follow up for "smart servos"

Thanks for sharing this video and information. I’m just learning how to build robotics. Also Single board micro processing.

Thank you I will tune in I need to learn how to make a servo work to open a headlight door

[buder]

i would like to know where to get good servo bought some at local store and they dont even do 180 :S without going out of control

Pmw causes problems with sensors, look up emp. 200, 000rf waves per sec. Plz run specs

I wonder if someone can help me,

I need a basic servo that can move at least a quarter inch or a little less, it really doesn’t matter the exact measurement, the moment I push on my remote control. I already know how to connect a remote control but I just need to know if I’m doing this correctly, what I do is I connect one of the three wires to one side of a 9 V battery in the moment the other wires touched the other side of the naval battery, the server gets a little surge of electricity and it moves exactly the way I like it to move but I wonder if I’m doing this correctly, if I may damage the unit and if there is a better way, thank you in advance.

What happens when servo did not find a pulse after 20ms?

I'm working on a project where I need to press a small lever to release a hidden 2" x 5" drawer, but the space is limited. A servo seemed like a great solution, but for my application, I'm trying to make it so if power is applied, actuate the servo (to press the lever). So far in researching and from what you're saying I need to have some sort of controller in place though. Do you know of any options where I can just have the servo arm move, say, 90 degrees when power is applied, and then go back to center when power is removed?

i have a problem
i want a servo motor to operate in 2 different speeds with 2 diffrent clicks on button
for example normal 120 degree rotation speed at single click and fast 120 degree rotation at double click using on off tactile switch using a cr123a battery.all these using a pcb or arduino in the most smallest space is it possible?

How do you find the Newton Meters of a servo? ie. A 13 gram micro servo

[colemiller]

Train. Do you know what kind of train this is?

Haha— I heard "shouldn't be touching your face" which is something you pretty much never heard before the very beginning of the COVID pandemic and then heard "cold and flu season" and was like... wait a second, and then looked at the date. March 17 2020—which was that 2 week period when it was on so many people's minds but so many people were like "ssshhh don't talk about it— it's weird."

This man seems so funny 😅. Thx for the video

'
i use very good HiTec / Traxxas servos are good on my any R/C tamiyas / traxxases...
few futabas servos

Any guidance on not to make the robot?

Very interesting, but the background music is superfluous and annoying.
