In one of my earlier questions it was determined for me that my Futaba Servo should not be powered directly from the 5v pin of my Arduino and should instead be powered by an alternative source. I was told the Servo requires a “high current 5 volt power supply” so I’m wondering what my best options are as my knowledge in servo control is quite limited. Is there some type of board that helps with this? Do I need a specific battery? If the servo needs a battery could it run off of the same battery as the arduino? Im trying to keep my design as compact as possible so multiple battery packs could pose complications. Thanks for any help!
