3V Digital Micro Servo, Continuous Rotation (FT90R)

3V Digital Micro Servo, Continuous Rotation (FT90R) Overview:

Do you need little continuous rotation servos for a little project? Try this compact, lightweight servo that requires only 3V to operate, so it makes a great companion to the BBC micro:bit!

It is an ideal servo motor for micro:bit GO bundle projects paired with our I/O adapter to bring both micro:bit control signals and direct battery current right to a breadboard. A 3-pin single-row header, available separately, will come in handy for connecting this servo to a breadboard.

Control this servo with PWM (pulse width modulation) signals. Pulses in the 700-1500 µs range turn it clockwise; pulses in the 1500-2300 µs range turn it counterclockwise, 1500 µs will make it stop. Need wheels? The Wheel/Tire for 3V Micro CR Servo (FT90R) presses right on to this servo's spline, just secure it with the included screw.

Pick up a pair for your home made tiny robot project!

Features:

• Operates at 3V, ideal for two 1.5V batteries
• Easy to control with simple PWM (pulse-width modulation) signals
• Rotates continuously clockwise & counterclockwise
• Set of servo horns is included
• Accepts the Wheel/Tire for FT90R Mini CR Servo

Applications:

• Add motion to micro:bit projects
• Animating mechanical props
• Tiny home-made robots

Note: if you are looking for a tiny standard servo to turn to and hold a position, try the 3V Digital Micro Servo, Standard (FT90B).
