Torxis servo current

Brandon, for this servo, what is the nominal amperage rating? I’ve been testing this same unit with an Arduino using a simple program. I’m wondering if I’m not getting enough current on the 12VDC supply. I added a 10uF capacitor in parallel with the servo. I’m wondering if the arduino library supports a 4 wire servo.

Hello.

I moved your post to its own thread since it seems like a separate issue.

The datasheet for the Torxis servos (which is available on each servo’s product page under the “Resources” tab) indicates that the power supply should be able to handle up to 3A.

The Arduino servo library only has support for generating the usual kind of hobby RC servo pulses used by common 3-wire servos. I am not sure where your inquiry about 4-wire servos is coming from since the Torxis servos are controlled with the same 3-wire interface as other hobby servos.

If you post more details about your setup along with a complete description of how you are trying to use your Torxis servo and how it is behaving instead, then I might be able to offer more specific troubleshooting advice.
