Servos are motors that allow you to accurately control the rotation of the output shaft, opening up all kinds of possibilities for robotics and other projects.

Core Skill: Robotics

This skill concerns mechanical and robotics knowledge. You may need to know how mechanical parts interact, how motors work, or how to use motor drivers and controllers.

3 Robotics

Skill Level: Competent - You may need an understanding of servo motors and how to drive them. Additionally, you may need some fundamental understanding of motor controllers.

Core Skill: DIY

Whether it's for assembling a kit, hacking an enclosure, or creating your own parts; the DIY skill is all about knowing how to use tools and the techniques associated with them.

1 DIY

Skill Level: Noob - Basic assembly is required. You may need to provide your own basic tools like a screwdriver, hammer or scissors. Power tools or custom parts are not required. Instructions will be included and easy to follow. Sewing may be required, but only with included patterns.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

3 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

    Where can I find how much power draw this servo uses?

works as advertised.

Good servo. Lots of torque with little power consumed. Quite a bit of play in the gears, though. I burned one of them up by applying 9 volts with no control signal, You're not supposed to do that! Believe it.

Needs better documentation

It's fine but needs better documentation. The spline is 25T.

Works

Works correctly but I may not understand "micro" vs "sub micro" sizing. Bought this to fit in an enclosure for a micro size servo, turns out it is 5mm too wide and I actually need the "sub-micro" ROB-09065. Data sheet dimensions are accurate to the product, but some more details in the description may have helped me avoid this mistake.
