AL5D Robotic Arm Wiring Connection

Regarding the above model of robotic arm, does every servo motor used has direct wiring connection to the circuit board located at the base?
Meaning… every servo motor uses only 1 wiring to connect itself to the circuit board. There is no continuous connection from one servo motor to another.

As i have not seen the arm myself, i could only make this assumption after browsing through the pictures in Lynxmotion webpage. However, i need 100% confirmation before i could start thinking about modifying it.

Thank you in advance. :smiley:

Correct, each servo is terminated at the controller board rather than daisy-chained one after another.
There may be a servo extension wire or two required for the farthest one or two servos, I don’t recall off hand.

Yes, it uses standard hitec servos which have a standard 3 wire cable that goes from the servo to controller board (ground, Power, signal).
