Hi guys,
When I posted my question I could never have imagined that I would get this kind of feedback. I am just amazed!
Now I know that I don´t need a shield for the servos, I have good guidance on how to work on the electronics to make them run as DCs, and I also have the code and info on how to power the servo without the shield. What else could I ask?
This weekend I will have a go on the electronics and see if I can get it done propertly. Not very optimistic though as for the time being all the electronic work looks scary to me. Buy I am sure that sooner or later I will get there with your help. When I finally have the servos up and running I will let you know. Thanks a lot to you all!
