Hello.
When connecting a server motors to the OC Usb servo motor card
how much Current can each motor draw? Does anyone know?
I can not find it in the manual.

Hi Nils,

The card is built up as the DC motor card.
In that manual it is : Max 1 Amp and to 36V per motor (max 6 servos or motors).
So it is reasonable to think that it's the same i.m.o.

Hello
Thanks for a good answer.
I sincerely ment to respond with a report from a successful testing of a heavy Servo motor.
But not this time!
I was too eager and gave the motor wrong polarity and it latterly caught fire! (This was a small standard servo)
Ordered new motor (s) this time, from Conrad.
But when the new test was on the bench it looks like the card is gone.
So no the motor story is on hold till new card arrives from OC.
–It can’t be Sunday every day! And it’s good this is only a hobby.
Hope you have a good summer.

Regards
Nils.
