zarnochwf1.com The ramblings of a sleep deprived college student.

My friend Frank recently ordered me a new servo to replace the proprietary funky one that inhabited the steering gearbox on the truck.
Read on for a ful explanation.

The original servo was a non-integrated pot feedback type that hooked direct to the main r/c board, and was also a lil worse for wear, having been soaked with water by the previous owner.

Here's a pic of the internals.

The new servo is a Tower Pro MG995 metal gear train model, which should last for quite a long time. It will be gutted of it's existing controler and be upgraded with an OpenServo V3 board so i can control it easier and offload some processing from the host MCU.

Expect amazing things soon...
