• Pan/tilt mechanisms

Usage:

1. Connection:
   • Connect the servo motor to a power supply within the operating voltage range (4.8V to 7.2V).
   • Connect the signal wire to a PWM output on the microcontroller or servo controller.
2. Control:
   • Use PWM signals to control the rotation speed and direction of the servo.
   • Adjust the pulse width to achieve the desired rotation (typically 1ms to 2ms pulse width).
3. Mounting:
   • Use the included servo horn and mounting hardware to attach the servo to your project.
   • Ensure the servo is securely mounted to handle the torque generated during operation.

Caution:

• Avoid stalling the servo for extended periods to prevent overheating.
• Ensure the servo operates within the specified voltage range to avoid damage.
• Handle the servo carefully to prevent damage to the internal gears and motor.
