Controlling a servo with an Arduino Zero or Arduino MKR Zero

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

I need to drive a servo with an Arduino Zero or an Arduino MKR Zero.

Both boards are rated 3.3V.

I would like to know whether it is possible to drive the PWM pin of the servo in the same manner I am in habit to do with the Arduino UNO or if I need to put some level shifter in between.

Thanck you very much and happy new year

Hi Michele,

In my experience it's possible. I've used my Arduino Zero's 3.3V PWM output, to directly drive a 5V powered analog servo on the tail of my tricopter without any issues.
