How a Servo Knows Its Angle

Position control via timed pulse signals.

Meet the Servo

A servo motor doesn't just spin freely. You tell it an exact angle, and it turns there and holds, perfect for arms, levers, and pointers. 🦾

Position, Not Speed

Unlike a plain DC motor that just goes fast or slow, a servo cares about position. Ask for 90 degrees and it parks the arm right there.
