Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with
feedback & gear box, especially since it will fit in small places. Despite its size, this micro-servo
is as strong as many 'standard' size servos! Works great with the Motor Shield for Arduino, our
16-channel Servo Driver, or by just wiring up with the Servo library. Comes with a few horns and
hardware.
This micro servo packs a big punch for its little size. it's just a little bit bigger than our High
Torque Metal Gear Micro Servo but runs with almost double the stall torque.
To control with an Arduino, we suggest connecting the orange control wire to pin 9 or 10 and
using the Servo library included with the Arduino IDE (see here for an example sketch). Position
"0" (1.5ms pulse) is middle, "90" (~2ms pulse) is all the way to the right, "-90" (~1ms pulse) is all
the way to the left. Note that unlike most servos you may be familiar with, this one does not
have mechanical stops! Also, this servo requires 5V signals, check that your
driver/microcontroller is supplying 5V logic as well as 5V power.
Note that the default servo pulse widths (usually 1ms to 2ms) may not give you a full 180
degrees of motion. In that case, check if you can set your servo controller to custom pulse
lengths and try 0.75ms to 2.25ms. You can try shorter/longer pulses but be aware that if you go
too far you could break your servo!
