 Digitise micro servos

In this tutorial we are going to digitise a micro servo. In this case it will be a HiTec HS-65HB.

 each image can be enlarged by clicking on them

  First of all we are going to need some tools. From left to right they are as follows:
  1. Soldering Iron.
  2. Solder.
  3. Pair of needle nose pliers.
  4. Set of helping hands or a mini vice.
  5. small crosshead screwdriver.

Using a screwdriver remove the bottom casing and gently prize the servo amp board out.

De-solder the wires from the motor.

Flip the servo over and remove the gear casing and all of the gears and put them somewhere safe.

Using your finger gentle pop out the pot. I found the best is to push the shaft towards the motor and use some needle nose pliers to pop it out from behind.

Notice where the wires go through the servo casing. Now de-solder these wires.

Feed in the pot wires from the digital servo amp and solder as the shown as the picture on the left.

Once soldered pop the pot back into place.

Once the pot in back into place. Twist the servo board round a few times making sure the motor wires are pointing towards the motor.
gently install the board where the old one used to be.

Then solder the motor wires as shown.
 


With the new board installed, all that is left is to re-fit the gears.
 

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6
Once the gears have been fitted, fit the top case back on and screw the servo back together.

And that's it! All done!

Now you can make your own micro digital servos.
