Servo tester MOD upgrade for Mike B

10th October 2025

Mike B’s new project requires a few servos, the tester wasn’t functioning properly so said id have a look as well as check on the mini servo he had.

I 3D printed off a slightly modified housing, his tester circuit board differs from my version so the hole positions didn’t match up properly.

I had already made myself a version for testing on my bench, plugging in to a 12v power supply. The voltage regulator was adjusted down to 6v max for testing and a digital voltage gauge was installed.

R5’s Bad Motivator 2025

 February 2025.....

Back on it again these last few months, waiting for delivery of different components to get R5’s bad motivator setup all working from one switch off the RC transmitter.

A new receiver paired to use a different channel not used on main body, worked when bench testing, but didn't work when both receivers were powered up. So it's back to the drawing board on this.....

An Adafruit sound board, mini amplifier, voltage regulator and utilising a speaker out of my parts bin lol.

Then 3D printing of brackets to mount these parts.

Then one new momentary servo controlled switch to control the adafruit sound board, and one on/off switch for the ‘Bad Motivator smoke setup’.
