Hey guys, it's been a few years since i've used a servo with the arduino. I know i should use a transistor to power it, but i can't recall how to wire it. I've tried doing a few searches, but didn't find anything useful. Lets say i want to use pin 4 on the arduino, i know pin 4 is the signal but sh…

I think there has been a misunderstanding.

Yes there has, it is your misunderstanding. You do not need a transistor on a servo signal.
