| Jan 17, 2019 at 3:31 | comment | added | jsotola | read what @crossroads wrote .... do not do a series connection | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 0:12 | comment | added | Brilliant Purnawan | OK then i guess i will try to do both in series and parallel | |
| Jan 16, 2019 at 17:39 | comment | added | CrossRoads | You do have the servo power lines connected in parallel, yes? All Power lines together at the battery, same with all Gnd lines, and the Gnd from the Mega as well. Some folks have mistakenly connected the power lines in series, that will not work. | |
