How to replace metal gears and burnt circuit board from broken servos
By Tien Dang Introduction During the project (hexapod), we broke total of four servos. After observation and analysis from the broken servos, we able to detect and identify two problems of how the servos were broke down, while the servos are running. First problem we encountered is overload in power, and the second problem is […]
