Arduino power sourcing Pololu Servo Controller

Pololu Micro Maestro needs two power source, first the battery to move the servos, the second provides energy to the circuit to run the script.

Note: the Pololu circuit includes a jumper to mix the two power source into one, I used separately.

Source for circuit

Arduino: I discovered that the red wire for Vin (positive) is not needed, the signal pin (Tx) provides of energy and signal, so only GND (gnd pin) and Signal/Vin (Tx pin) are connected to the Pololu circuit.




Mid-wire: homemade mid wire to match the male and female pins from arduino and pololu


Servo Controller: this is the pololu pins going to the mid-wire





Source for servos: Homemade battery power the servos, first goes to a heat dissipator, and then to the Pololu

Note: Blue thing is the mentioned jumper included
