How does a servo motor work?
This type of motor has control circuits with a variable resistor that is attached to the output shaft of the servo motor. The angle of the servo motor is monitored by the control circuitry of the variable resistor. When the shaft of the servo motor is at a correct angle, the servo motor will shut off. If by mistake the, shaft is not as correct angle, then the servo motor will continue to turn the motor until it reaches the correct angle. The output shaft of the servo motor is capable of moving between 180 and 210 degree range but can vary often depending on the manufacturer of the servo motor. Most servo motors will have a mechanical stop that is built on the main output gear. When the servo motor needs to turn a rather large distance, the motor will run as full speed. This in turns works the opposite way if it only needs to turn very little. It will run at a much slower pace. The angle of the servo motor is determined with a control wire. This communicates the angle that is applied by
