It expects a standard 50 Hz servo signal (500-2500 µs pulse). For heavy loads, provide an external 5-6V power supply, as the servo can draw up to 2.5A at stall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the signal wire (usually yellow\/orange) to a PWM-capable pin, the power wire (red) to an external 5-6V supply, and the ground (brown\/black) to common ground with your microcontroller. Avoid powering directly from a board's 5V pin—a separate supply prevents voltage drops and resets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino Uno?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, connect the signal wire to any PWM pin (e.g., D9) and use the Servo library. Provide an external 5V supply for the servo to avoid overloading the Arduino's regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat power supply do I need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 5V 2A DC adapter or bench supply is recommended, especially when using multiple servos. At stall, the MG996R can draw 2.5A, so ensure your supply can handle peak current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan it rotate continuously?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the MG996R has a fixed 180° range. For continuous rotation, consider a modified servo or a stepper motor. This servo is designed for precise angular positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
