Default RE: Let's talk about servos - Whatever is on your mind

A servo torque calculator is posted on the first page of this discussion if you care to look at it.

It occurs to me that if I hook up my wattmeter I should be able to read the draw of my servos.   When I get a chance I will try that.

If someone else had the time, please give this a try.  Remember that at rest the strain on the servo should be extremely low.  It is the air pressure against the surface that creates the load so use your hand to create some light pressue and watch the numbers.
