Have been asked to redesign a wiper unit. The current unit has heaps of issues design wise.
It currently uses a Hi Torque RC Servo to move a tooth brush over some light logger to prevent algae building up on them as they are used underwater.
Can I connect direct to the PICAXE and run the servo off a 6V supply as the PICAXE is only providing the move signal?
The nice people that created the original units have removed the label on the current controller so all I know its a 20pin device and they have a driver for the servo. Non of the documentation indicates a need a driver to use a servo.
