Servo spline compatibility
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Just for the archive -- and anyone out there holding their breath -- I
hauled my robot down to the hobby shop and tried servo horns until I
determined which ones are compatible with the mini-servos Parallax uses on
the Toddler.
They are Grandwing servos, which are Futaba-compatible in the "standard"
version but not in the "mini" version. The Parallax mini-servo is JR
compatible.
Thanks to Eric Wood and the other guys who tried to figure this out.
Sometimes cut-and-try is the only way that gets an answer<g>.

P.S. I don't generally like cross-posting, but it occurs to me that someone
might search this archive or the Toddler archive to answer this question, so
I will cross-post to that group this time.

Thanks for checking it out for all of us.
Do you have a picture of yourself at the hobby shop performing this
test? (just kidding [noparse]:)[/noparse] )
