How To Test Your Servos With A Servo Tester
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- I'm going to show you how to test your servos with a servo tester. If you want to check the operation of your servo, there is a very inexpensive tester available for this reason.
In previous videos, I showed several methods to test your servo with an Arduino Uno. If you wish not to pull out your Arduino for a simple test ot two, this video will show you how that is possible.

Another great Vid Tom, what a great & inexpensive way to quickly chk.servo's
Thank you, it works great
Great job Tom ,brilliant tutorial again ,take care for now
Thank you John
thanks Tom for the video, yes i got 10 of the Servo Tester when i was in china for about $0.50 each, as i blow up 12 Servos and had no way to test them
My pleasure.
I always like to look up Videos when I get a New device or forget the wiring on stuff.
Thanks for the Video, it was helpful
You're welcome!
Thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Thats a very handy device to have
It works great and can check 3 at a time.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks👍😊
Welcome 😊
Hi! What are the specs on the potentiometer on that servo tester? I'm wondering about buying and modding one like that.

can this be used to tesdt a 2g servo? if so what aditional component do i need for it. Thanks!
It should work with any size, the voltage is the deterring factor
Got one today, and confirmed it's the same one you have, because at about 4:20 it says "server test". LOL Cheapest server tester I've ever seen ;-)
Works better than some more expensive testers
Hey, i bought this same one that came with a battery compartment (i don’t know if yours had that) but when i try to plug in more than 1 servo all the lights flash in the servo goes all jittery, it is not the servo either as i have tested it with other servos and the same thing happened, do you have any info i could use to fix it (thanks in advance)
These testers are open source, so any manufacturer can produce them. Not familiar with the one you describe. Sounds like you have a defective one.
Sometimes things don't work at this low price. I normally buy multiple devices because of this.
@@TomsTrainsandThingsok thanks
I hoped to see here how to connect the servo to the board, since there are two ways on this 9 pin block.
They only fit one way
I'm coming in a bit late but I know what you mean. The cables connect horizontally, so one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom, rather than side by side.
Awesome video, thanks. By the way, where do you get your servo batteries
I use a power supply supply to power my servos. They are stationary on a model railroad
@@TomsTrainsandThings thanks
How much voltage use ?
5 volts@@lap92476
Hi mate. I have this servo tester and 270 deg servo. When i test my servo, it only moves 180 deg. How can i test the full 270 deg range? Thanks!
These testers were designed for testing 180 degree servos. I've looked online for testers for 270 degrees, but but was unable to find one that specifically states 270. I have another video on servo testing where you can sweep from low to high on the servo through an Arduino sketch.ruclips.net/video/w3DL-H0fzmY/видео.html
@@TomsTrainsandThings I've done a lot of reading about servos. The 270 degree servo uses the same pulses as the 180. It is just spread out over a larger angle. The tester should have operated it to each end of travel. Check your servo to see if it is indeed a 270 and not 180 degrees.
Sir, Where did you get that BLUE MAT that you are working on top of ? Thanks,

I just had problem using these servos testers, but discovered 6 Volts is not enough volts and the servos jitter. Using a 7.2 volt rechargeable no problem.
Most 9 g servos are 4.8 to 5 v there are larger servos that will handle up to 7.2 vdc.
@@TomsTrainsandThings would it be fine if i connect 4x AA batteries to power this up ?
🔥🔥🔥
how to make a servo : attach a variable resistor to a geared motor use a 339 ic : put a diode offset between the inputs. lm339 quad +- for 2 servos all done/ add a supply ON transistor. 1 volt used batteries can leave the 339 on. use 4 transistors each motor >
Servo's are so inexpensive why bother building one unless your like me and do it because I can!
Hello sir.
My sarvo tester is not work
Plz. Reply
What input voltage are you using?
What is the max current it can handle ?
If your worried about maximum current, buy a more expensive one. This is the cheapest one available.
@@TomsTrainsandThings even so ? How much it can handle ?
It can handle 3 servos up to 55 gram size.
@@TomsTrainsandThings can I connect this tester to a 1Amp D.C power source ?
I use my bench power supply to power this tester which is 5 amps.
I like your video but you didn't show how to hook up power supply. I just received the same servo tester ,without any power supply, instructions, I have never used one before so I would like a little more information please. Thank you have a great day 😊
It's marked on the opposite side with + & - The sam voltage as the Servos
I have 5 of those little guys just trashed them all failed.
Sorry to hear about that. Your the first one who said they had issues.
I've had issues with other units but that was because they stated they would drive 4 servos. They did not.
Cool. I’m trying to think of a witty comment but the servo centre of my brain is not working.
Maybe Mickey Mouse might manage my motor memory Monday morning!
Yeah, sure dude
Absolutely! 😆
