Just got a new servo, my first. There was no paperwork with it. Can someone
tell which are the power leads and which is the signal lead. Wires are red,
black, and white.

Thanks

    Sid,

    red ---> positive
    black ---> ground
    white ---> signal

    Have fun!

    Servo leads white wire is the signal lead, red wire is the power lead
    usually 6-volts, black wire is the common ground. Hope this helps.

    Also, there should be a trade mark listing the manufacturer. If you can find
    that then go to http://www.towerhobbies.com they list servo manufacturers
    and other requirements.

    Hi Sid -

    I suspect you may need more than just a wiring description. Here is a whole
    page of links, many down-under, for you to peruse. Go about 1/2 way down
    the page for wiring r/c servos.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates
