Hi, Is it possible to run a servo motor MG966r through Arduino and a power Adaptor of 5V 2A or 12V 2A?
Other options?
Use the Arduino for the servo control signal only. Use a separate power supply for the servo...
From the datasheet: https://www.digikey.com/en/htmldatasheets/production/5014637/0/0/1/mg996r
- Stall Current 2.5 A (6V)
- Operating voltage: 4.8 V a 7.2 V

Yes, I get that
What tipe of external power would you use?
- Battery or plug-in ?
No you did not. You said:

A 6V power supply capable of at least 3A would be a good idea.
Servos and brushed DC motors briefly draw the stall current every time they start moving.

You are right, I’m still learning about it and I thought that using an adapter connected to Arduino power plug would work.
And now I don’t know what type of separated power supply is better and how to connect it
I thought something like this would work
It should be fine.
