This instructable provides a walk through of a basic servo driver using a 555 IC chip 5 resistors
a transistor and 2 capacitors. The idea is simple, use 2 switches to control the motion of the
servo. Note this circuit is based on a servo tester circuit found on the Internet. We built this with
parts from Jameco Electronics at an instructables build night at Arch Reactor Hackerspace.
Thanks Jameco!
Step 1: The circuit
This is a diagram of what we are building. This and many other 555 circuits can be found on
www.555-timer-circuits.com
Step 2: What you need

555 IC 68k resistor 4.7k resistor 33k resistor 10k resistor 1k resistor 2 - 100n capacitors bc547
transistor 2 momentary push buttons a servo a 6v power supply jumper wires. LOTSOf them.
Step 3: Wiring
wire the circuit as in this image. Be sure to lookup your transistor and match emitter, collector,
and base as in the circuit diagram. Do not hook the power up until after it is wired. Refer back
to the circuit diagram as needed to clarify wiring questions.
Step 4: Add power

Connect power to the red and black rails and press one of the buttons. You should see the
servo move in response to the button press.
Step 5: How crowded can it get?

It's a good idea a breadboard this out and simplify afterwards. It's a nice quick project to get
you started on servos.

A meter is optional but can really go a long way in helping you resolve issues. I highly
recommend getting one for any of you circuit projects.

Very nice project. I presume you're sending two PWM signals corresponding to two servo
positions - yes? I would think I could replace the two resistors and switches with a
potentiometer that would allow me to drive the servo to any position. Is this right?
Thanks for a cool project.

You are correct. A potentiometer is an excellent idea as a replacement for the 2 push buttons. I
am thinking of adding a WiFly to this so I can control the Servo via the internet.

THAT WOULD BE AWSOME IF YOU COULD ADD WIFI CONTROL

Very nice. Are the resistor values chosen such that the servo turns faster forward than in
reverse?

No it should be the same in either direction.

I was trying to do this circuit a couple of years ago as i wanted to use a brush-less model motor
and propeller as a fan on my boat but when i found out i can buy a servo tester for $4.50 i just
used them instead as the cost of 12 volt fans was around $15 for a cheep car one or $55 for a

boat one and they only last around a year as the brushes always wear out but the model
motors last forever and use less power to move more air plus i can control how fast they run
which is great so they do not make as much noise as i leave some of them running all night.
