In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how a common Servo works and how you can control one in your next project with and without a microcontroller.

I dont know why, but I loved the end screen with the servo waggling all over the table. I could watch that for hours. Good video
-
You make the best Electronics Videos on YouTube, they are very well produced and easy to understand! Keep it up! :)

WORLD'S BEAST YOUTUBER AWARD TO GREATSCOTT! FROM ME TO YOU
-
You did an excellent job of covering all of the basics in a clear, succinct manner. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
-
I don’t go out of my way to like videos but I like almost everyone I have seen from you. Thank you, and keep it up!
-
Last night I was thinking of what I wanted to accomplish today and I settled on learning about servos. This morning youtube recommended this video. I did buy some cheap servos a few years ago but never did anything with them, I guess it's time to hunt them down and apply what I learned.
-
Thank you, this was the most informative video I have seen to date. I am a beginner with electronics so I will need to watch this a few more times .
-
I love your handwritten explanations. And everything else in your videos. They are always very well explained and thorough - nothing is taken for granted and they are funny as well. And you keep covering new areas. Being an old electronics engineer myself, I still learn a lot from you. Keep it up!

wow, this is a great channel, you are not just another theory only or salvaging and hacking only electronic channel but you actually know and explain the theory behind them. so there are channels dedicated to pure theory and calculation like professors that hardly do any hands on practical projects, and there are channels by electronic hobbyist that are high school drop outs and could hardly explain a simple theory but just pure hands on electronic salvaging, but this channel is the best of both worlds.
-
A video on the 555 timer would be great! Thanks for the quality content.
-
Beautiful and clear as usual! No words to describe how much i like your method
-
Simply the best informational video I have seen on YouTube. Big thumbs up!
-
Really great explanation. I'm just starting with servo's and steppers, thanks for the easy to understand intro.
-
Perfect tutorial!
-
Perfect. Just what I needed. Your voice us very clear and easy to understand too. Thanks!
-
This is an excellent video! You should share it with some of the bigger RC channels (like FliteTest). Your coverage of HOW they work is excellent!
-
Lets be honest guys, most of you don't have idea of what he is talking about, but you watch him because he does cool stuff with electronics
-
Thanks for all the hard work man! really appreciate everything. I was wondering if you'd make any voice control project. Great videos!!
-
You also could use a 2 transistor "multivibrator" setup, which btw also offers the pwm counterpart exit for a proportional opposite motor control. This comes handy if you need to control 2 servos with mirrored turns, such as pulling or pushing synchronously an object from both sides.

That was absolutely Fantastic. Keep up the great work. Nick.
