A Few Notes:
  • A small 3mm hole must be drilled in the servo horn before step 3
  • In Step 4 when attaching the servo horn first rotate the servo as far clockwise (looking at the top) as it will let you go. Then attach the servo horn in it's full upright position.

Wiring:
  • Wiring is super simple. The servo plug has three pins which should be connected as follows
  • Pin 1  -  black or brown  -  gnd      Pin 2  -  red             -  power   Pin 3  -  white or orange -  signal
