Hello

I was looking this project "simple servo tester" at electronic lab pages( http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/motor_light/016/index.html ) and I would like to know what is the max input voltage, is this 5V=? What I must change if I want to run this servo tester with 2S LiPo cell, this is 7,4V?


I look forward to hearing from you,

Alex

The stupid project does not say its supply voltage.
If you look at the datasheet of its PIC micro-controller then you will see that it is 5.0V only.
Your 2 cells lipo battery will be 8.4V when fully charged and will drop to about 6V so you need a low-dropout voltage regulator for the PIC.
