Expansion Port RC Servo Motor Signals
All four RC servo motor signals are available on the expansion connector for use with user devices. These are the same signals available on J2, J3, J4, and J5. RC servo motor signal #1 (J2) is dedicated to the robot’s steering motor. The signals are standard 1ms to 2ms positive going pulses at 50hz which is required by most RC servo motors.
Using very large servos that need a lot of current may require an additional power supply to prevent overload or electrical noise that could crash the Basic Stamp II or coprocessor.
