A servo, or servomechanism, is an automatic device that uses error-sensing negative feedback to correct performance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomechanism

How do I properly store an rc servo?

Temperature is important in storage of a radio control servo. It is recommended to store the servo between 20C and 60C. pcbheaven.com/wikipages/How_RC_Servos_Works offers a wealth of information for those interested in rc servos.


Why would you use a radio control servo?

Radio Control Servos are a simply and efficient way of adding power and movement to a robotic structure. There are many different servos and a controller must be used with one.


Is it possible to control an electric motor with a servo or servo connector?

NO


What is a Solar Servo?

Nope, just a normal radio controlled servo for steering and whatever else.


What is the application of servo motor?

Servo motors are used for precision motion control application.


What is a Micro Servo?

A micro servo is a small servo. The term can be used to describe any servo that is smaller than a "typical" servo. For example a servo that is about 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.5" would probably be called a micro servo. Most servos use the same signals and voltages, so usually a micro servo can be plugged into any servo controller or radio receiver that a regular servo can be plugged into.


Where and what is the SERVO for a 1996 Buick Riviera?

What does a servo pipe do?

A servo pipe is typically used in robotics and automation systems to control the movement of a servo motor. It transmits signals from a microcontroller or a controller board to the servo, allowing for precise positioning and control of the motor's angle or speed. This enables applications such as robotic arms, camera gimbals, and other mechanisms requiring accurate motion control.


How do you interface servo motor with l293d?

To interface a servo motor with an L293D motor driver, connect the servo's control signal wire to a PWM-capable output pin on a microcontroller. The L293D is typically used for DC motors, so it’s not necessary to connect the servo's power and ground directly to the L293D; instead, power the servo from an appropriate power source. Use the microcontroller to send PWM signals to control the servo's position, while ensuring proper power supply handling for both the servo and the L293D.


How do remotes control toy cars?

Most RC cars operate under a 2-channel radio system(steering and acceleration). The remote transmits a series of signals to two different servos on the car, the accelerator servo and the steering servo. these signals tell the car what to do


Does the servo motor contain the servo?

A "servo motor" and a "servo" are the same thing. Servos are constructed from three basic pieces; a motor, a potentiometer (variable resister) that is connected to the output shaft, and a control board. The potentiometer allows the control circuitry to monitor the current angle of the servo motor. The motor, through a series of gears, turns the output shaft and the potentiometer simultaneously. The potentiometer is fed into the servo control circuit and when the control circuit detects that the position is correct, it stops the motor. If the control circuit detects that the angle is not correct, it will turn the motor the correct direction until the angle is correct. Normally a servo is used to control an angular motion of between 0 and 180 degrees. It is not mechanically capable (unless modified) of turning any farther due to the mechanical stop build on to the main output gear.


How do you code an arduino to control a servo on a timer?

You will need a sketch (an arduino program), and you'll need to know the interface from the arduino to the peripheral (servo)
