Driving a servo motor

Ade Popoola

Hi,
I'm working on my project and it involves driving a servo motor using an MCB900 board. Is it possible to directly connect the servo motor to one of the ports or do I have to use an interface like an amplifier.
Your response will be appreciated.

    I missed that one, a distributor even gave me one of the MCB900s.

    Is it possible to directly connect the servo motor to one of the ports or do I have to use an interface like an amplifier.

    The answer is 99% NO and for the last 1% risky.

    There are strong EMF forces involved in driving a motor and no uC I know of is designed to withstand that.

    Also is this a 3V motor? haven't seen many of those.

    For motor drivers I would check Allegro semiconductors, that is their specialty.
