Hi, this is just a quick general question regarding the Protech B160 micro servos... http://www.servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=PROBB160243&area=Servo
I've purchased some recently for some animatronics, they are aparrently rated for use between 4.5 v and 6 v but when I connect them to my set up they work fine but they heat up and start to "burn", I presume there is some issue but perhaps it's the refresh rate of the servos?
I know Futaba 3003's refresh at 20 ms or so... do you think these smaller servos refresh differently? hence why they seem to "burn" or create the burning smell anyway...
I have tried them through the PICAXE with the normal 4.5 v rail without the separate 6v supply but they still seem to create the burning smell and I can only assume that's bad for the servos...
