Hello!
For a big torque i have choose a servo RC modelcraft VS-11AMB wire type JR. i think that i can drive the servo with the 4 connect of the "bord of education". I have 3 wires (on servo). a orange, a red, a grey. How must i connect? ( 0 - Pulse- (+6v))
Is the programmation same with the servo RC futaba.
Thank for your help

Hugo

    I don't think the BOE can provide the current needed for that large of a servo.

    I'd suggest using a separate power supply for the servo (red is +) and connect the signal (orange) to the BOE. The ground connection on the servo (grey / I thought it was brown) needs to be connected to both the servo power supply (- side) and the BOE ground. It's important that both the servo and the BOE have a common (shared) ground connection.

    That servos going to need a good power source, not a rectangular 9V battery with a voltage regulator. Five NiHM AA cells would probably provide enough current for the servo.

    And yes, the programming is the same with your servo as a Futaba servo.
