Will Metro 328 run two analog feedback micro servos?

Post by andy_c »

I have been running single Analog Feedback Micro Servo PID 1450 using a Metro 328. Now I want to add another duplicate motor. Can I use the same controller or should I use the Metro 328 with a motor shield? I have been having some problems where the servo wants to start at some far off position. Will a motor shield be a more reliable setup?

Thank you

You should be able to control 2 of them from one Metro328. The unpredictable startup behavior is fairly common with servos. They often twitch randomly when first powered up.

The motor shield does not have any active servo circuitry. It simply connects D9 and D10 to the set of servo headers.
