Using AC/DC converter to power Arduino from Vin

The HD 1800A is indeed a very tiny cute servo :slight_smile: So you're probably fine if you add a decent capacitor across the power supply and/or decouple the Arduino power.

More force = more current
Big position change = servo tries to move as fast as possible = more current

At start up you probably don't know where it is aka Murphy tells you it's far away. :smiley:
