Servo

The servo motor has three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power cord is usually red and should be connected to the 5V pin on the Arduino board. The ground wire is usually black or brown and should be connected to the ground pin on the Arduino board. The signal pins are usually yellow, orange or white and should be connected to the digital pins on the Arduino board. Please note that the servo system consumes considerable power, so if you need to drive more than one or two, you may need to use a separate power supply (ie the +5V pin on the Arduino) to power them. Be sure to connect the Arduino to the ground of the external power supply.

}

  }
