Re: Worry, servo back powering Gecko

Hi Ron,

Well, a little I guess! Not a lot of torque, and I don't know if they
would skip steps, especially as there is no external power, as in a
Selsyn. At least you wouldn't have the 400 cycle buzz to put up with!
Selsyns are neat. I haven't played with them since the NAVY.

Perhaps they just need a little power? We used to use Selsyns for
antenna direction reports, Ham Radio satellites. I have been known to
SPIN 2 meter/440 Mhz beams with #34 stepper motors (RDF)!
