Servo motor with 3 connections

[peg]

Good afternoon

We are trying to connect a servo motor to a PICAXE 014M2 board. Any suggestion

Thanks

Just to say it is the SRVO motor normally used with the Arduino

You will need three connections: +5v, 0v and a SERVO output signal. On that board (I assume you mean the AXE117 - it helps to say what module you're using), you need to connect to one of the output pins which are accessible between the 14M2 chip and the ULN2003A. Don't use an output of the ULN2003A as these are an open collector connection. Refer to Manual 3, Output Device 8.

Per others, it's pretty simple using direct connection to Picaxe pins, as long as your power supply (or batteries) can handle an amp or more. Servos need a lot of current. Lipo or 3X AA minimum.

I like D cells for running servos - usually a long time before you reach the "What's wrong with this?" caused by a dying/dead battery.
