Hi, I have a Hitec HS-985MG servo. I ran in to a problem with it when I was trying to make it in to a 180 servo. The problem I had was when I was trying to pull the borad out, I didnt know the board was solder to the motor and the connects was pull up of the motor, I fix that. But when I was messing with the servo. I left the servo plugged in and the freaking chip on the board got toast. So I need a servo controller board. Can your board help me out? Do I have to program them in any way? Or can I just pop them in and go? Or should I just bite the bullet and by a whole new servo? Please help me thanks.
P.S. for you sell servo motors too?
Ok thank, I will see what I could use it for. But let me ask you about your servo controllers boards. How do they work? Do you have to program them? Can you just pop them is like plug and play? I’m kinder of intersted in them, because I have a project coming up that I could use them. I got to know how to use them. how they work?
Ok, I want to make something like a robot arm, but it will not be picking anything up. Im going to cover it, to make it look like a worm or snake. Look at this:

That’s what I want to make but smaller. I want to make it sticking out of a garbage can. They used a huge robot arm, the same ones that they us to build cars with and a motion program. I already have the program. I just need the robot arm. What can you recommend?
I’m a noob at this program stuff. Totally noob. But I am a fast learner. Been mess around with rc stuff for a long time, and oh yea I also have a little machine shop. So I could machine my own parts as needed. I Just need to be shown the right path to go down. Thank you for your help.
We sell the 985MG, and a variety of servos as well. We are not aware of the electronics being offered separately, so unfortunately that will need to be an expensive lesson. You might want to remove the electronics completely and turn it into a continuous rotation motor.
It depends on what you are looking to do. If you want a microcontroller or computer to control servos, then a servo controller offloads many of the repetitive code, and also allows you to control many servos. If you only want to manually control servos, then a radio control unit would be enough. Perhaps you can describe your project some more and we can help guide you to the right technology.
