Ok, as of 3:30am my protoboard is done and properly controlling my platform. Now, HITEC reccomends 6.0V for optimum performance on their digital servos... what voltage do you guys use for r/c servos? If I provide 6V, then I'd need to include one more vreg in my design with an output of 6V (my DMM is arriving today, so I still don't know what are the current requirements for my servos).
What if I power the servo (vcc and gnd) from a completely different source that provides 6V and supply the signal line using the 5V of whatever source I'm using for my protoboard? Does the GND wire need to be common to VCC and signal?
I guess all these questions make up for cool experiments I'm gonna try next ;-)
