The PhidgetServo 4-Motor is a USB based controller that can control 4 Remote Control (RC) servo motors. The motor at position 0 is powered directly from the USB port, while motors 1, 2, and 3 are powered by a 5 to 12VDC external power supply.
The PhidgetServo has a step accuracy of 0.1 degrees, the positional accuracy of the servo motor is dependant on the physical characteristics of the specific motor used.
