You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with feedback \u0026amp; gear box. Comes with 3 horns, as shown. They aren't the highest quality servo (which is why they are less expensive) and so are not suggested for hobby planes. We now carry the Tower-Pro SG-5010.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo control with an Arduino, we suggest connecting the orange control wire to pin 9 or 10 and using the Servo library included with the Arduino IDE (see here for an example sketch). Position \"0\" (1.5ms pulse) is middle, \"90\" (~2ms pulse) is all the way to the right, \"-90\" (~1ms pulse) is all the way to the left.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote that the default servo pulse widths (usually 1ms to 2ms) may not give you a full 180 degrees of motion. In that case, check if you can set your servo controller to custom pulse lengths and try 0.75ms to 2.25ms. You can try shorter\/longer pulses but be aware that if you go too far you could break your servo!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n      \u003cdiv id=\"technical-details\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in-md in-lg\"\u003e\n        \n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 4.8V - 6V DC max (5V works well)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage Speed: 0.2sec\/60degree (@ 4.8V), 0.16sec\/60degree (@ 6V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 39g (1.37 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: At 5V, 5.5kg-cm \/ 76oz-in, and at 6V 6.5kg-cm \/ 90oz-in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize mm: (L x W x H) 40 x 20.0 x 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize in: (L x W x H) 1.60x.79x1.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 20.8px;\"\u003eSpline Count: 25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n      \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TowerPro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52217224724768,"sku":"zpv1787257302392","price":7.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/3231\/3120\/files\/towerpro-servo-motor---sg-5010_1.jpg?v=1787257307"},{"product_id":"lock-style-solenoid-12vdc","title":"Lock-style Solenoid - 12VDC","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Locking Solenoid provides a simple electrically controlled locking mechanism, using a spring-loaded metal bolt that retracts when powered, making it ideal for cabinets, enclosures, doors, and access-control projects.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolenoids are basically electromagnets: they are made of a big coil of copper wire with an armature (a slug of metal) in the middle.
