Mini Maestro Servo Controller- Max Current

Hi,

What is the maximum current the mini Maestro’s can handle?
6 , 12, 18, 24?

Thank you

Hello, Austin.

I moved your post to the “Servo controllers and servos” section of the forum since it seemed more appropriate.

Are you referring to the servo power rail on the Maestro controllers? If so, the traces on the servo power rail can handle around 6A, and each header pin can handle around 3A. Also, the terminal blocks for connecting power to the rails on the 18- and 24-channel Maestros are rated for 10A. If you are exceeding those limitations, you might consider powering your servos separately from the Maestro board. Alternatively, you could cut the power rail traces on the underside of the Maestro as described in this post to create separate power banks and split the load.

If that is not what you were asking, can you try rephrasing your question and tell us more about what you are trying to do?
