MG996 [180°] Standard Size - High Torque - Metal Gear Servo - (AD18394)

Description:

This standard high-torque servo now comes in a metal gear chassis, for extra-high torque (13 kg*cm!) and reliability! It can rotate at least 120 degrees (60 in each direction) with a classic 1.5 - 2.5ms pulse train, but if you can extend your pulses, you can go up to about 170 degrees - and it varies slightly from servo to servo. You can use any servo code, hardware, or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to move things without building a motor controller with feedback and a gearbox. Comes with various plastic accessories, as shown. We now offer the Tower-Pro MG-996, which are great, high-quality servos, excellent for use in robotics.

To control with an Arduino, we suggest connecting the orange control wire to pin 9 or 10 using the Servo library included in the Arduino IDE (see here for an example sketch). Position "0" (1.5ms pulse) is center, "90" (~2ms pulse) is all the way to the right, "-90" (~1ms pulse) is all the way to the left.
