Does anyone know the current draw of this servo? pololu.com/catalog/product/1057
Hello.
The manufacturer does not provide the current draw as an official spec, but I did measure the stall current of one servo’s motor and found it to be approximately 2 A at 5 V. The servo did not drive the motor at a 100% duty cycle when stalled, so that average servo current was closer to 1.5 A when the servo was held stalled at 5 V. The average current draw will be a lot less if you aren’t stalling the servo, but your supply should still be able to deliver brief current peaks of at least 2 A.

Ok, thank you.
