Use Futaba servos with NXT brick?

Post by paynekidd »

Is it possible to use a Futaba servo with an NXT brick? I need the extra torque for what I want to do... maybe with somekind of homebrew adapter for the typical 3 pin servo plug to the NXT port?

Don't know about homebrew but - http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?mo ... PAGE_id=93

I made a servo controller for the NXT using a PICAXE. See here for details.

I often use RC Servos in my Robots, in conjunction with the Mindsensors - 8 Channel Servo Controller, NXTServo.
