You can power the servo from an external 6V source, but you'd have to connect the ground of the power source to your BBBlue or the servo will not work right. ie. The ground going to the servo, still needs to connect to the ground pin on the BBBlue servo output header. You can see an example

Would it be possible to wire a Powerout with 6V from a power-socket directly to the servo, and not connect the middle pin to the servo-connector? On Friday, 26 May 2017 23:44:41 UTC+2, Niels Jakob Buch wrote: > > Just took a look at the schematics... >
