I’m trying to create a primitive Arduino Uno-based robotic hand My plan involves the use of 9 Micro Servo 9g FS90 servos. I’d appreciate recommendations on which controller might be the most appropriate. There will probably also be 9 touch sensors, if that matters. Thanks in advance!
Hello @bfeist and welcome to the RobotShop community,
To choose a controller you must take into account the working voltage of the servos, the current consumption and the control method. I suggest you read the following tutorial to get a better idea about this.
However, since you mentioned that you will be using Arduino Uno and micro servos, a good option would be this one:

But you can find many more options in the Motor Controllers section. And if you see a servo controller that catches your eye but you want to make sure it will work for you, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

Thanks! I snagged the Allbot you suggested, and apparently got the last one – it was on sale at about a quarter of its normal price. If there were more, I’d have grabbed some for future projects.
