continous power supply?

2007-02-17T19:42:38+01:00

I'm running a KHR-1HV off an old (very) Maplins Precision Gold Dual Tracking regulated power supply.. Thats what it is sitting on in my avatar.

FYI it draws about 2.5 amps peak when doing some of its worst (heaviest loaded) moves.

Try and get one that limits current rather than, like mine, shuts off current when peak is reached.

I had the current set for 2 amps and when it tried to get up off its back, the circuit cut in and it just fell over. Its set for 2.5A now and it seems to be all it needs.

I found several laboratory power supplies on eBay. Make sure they can push the amperage you need. And do not leave them powered up idling for long periods, servos are not made for that.
