Servo Tester
Description
See It In Action Here: Https://Youtu.Be/Physmmbabcs Really Liked Xotfc'S Design For Using A 555 Timer And A Small Trim Potentiometer To Move A Servo. It'S Very Simple To Put Together And Cheap To Make So I Drew Up A Hand-Held Housing For It And Incorporated A Battery Case To Make It A Useful Servo Tester For My Tool Kit. It Is Designed For Me, So I Left It Open For Ease Of Use. Feel Free To Modify It To Fit Your Needs Better. Fun, Easy Solder-Less Project That Is Useful Too! See The Original Schematic And A Video Of How To Wire It Here: Http://Www.Xoftc.Com/Circ555/Circ_555_Servo_Control Note: Because Of The Built-In 9V Battery I Added An On/Off Switch And Led. Note: I Made A Knob For The Trim Pot, Though If You Are Going To Be Using This Fairly Often I Would Recommend Switching This Part For An Actual Surface Mount Piece. If You Want To Use The Knob Anyways, It Is Just Glued In Place With A Bit Of Epoxy (Crazy Glue Would Probably Work Too.) Note: Still Looking A The Wiring, I Am Sure It Can Be Optimized And Improved. Who Knows, I May Get Bored And Rewire It Up All Over Again, That Is Why I Left The Hand-Held Open On A Mini Breadboard Instead Of Soldering Everything Down :-)
