Servo MG90S Metal Gear 360 Degree

The Servo MG90S Metal Gear 360 Degree is a type of servo motor commonly used in robotics and hobbyist electronics. Here's a quick breakdown of what it is and what to watch for:

Key Features:

• Model: MG90S (metal gear version of SG90)
• Rotation: 360-degree continuous rotation
• Gears: All-metal gear construction for durability
• Torque: Approx. 2.0 kg/cm at 4.8V
• Voltage Range: 4.8V to 6V
• Control Signal: PWM (standard servo signal, usually 1ms–2ms pulses)

Important Note:

The standard MG90S is usually a 180-degree positional servo, not 360-degree continuous. If you're getting an MG90S 360, it’s likely a modified version designed for continuous rotation.

Use Cases:

• Small robot drive wheels
• DIY robot arms (if not positional)
• Pan/tilt systems (though 180° is better for that)
• RC vehicles

Control:

For continuous 360° versions:

• 1.5ms pulse: Neutral (stop)
• <1.5ms: Rotates in one direction (speed increases as it gets closer to 1ms)
• >1.5ms: Rotates in the other direction (up to 2ms)

Common Gotchas:

• Not ideal for position control if it’s a continuous rotation version.
• Make sure to double-check if your specific MG90S is 360° continuous or standard 180°.
