servo power limit?
-
I want to put my 4 tools on a rack that lifts out of the way when changes aren't happening?
How much power can I send to high torque servos to make this happen?
I don't have any more motor connections available to make this happen.

Are you envisioning something like a hobby servo, or a large motor? How much weight needs to be lifted and how far? Linear actuator maybe?

@gnydick have a good read of this section https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_servos_and_controlling_unused_IO_pins#Section_CAUTION

@droftarts thanks

@Phaedrux i was hoping a couple of hobby servos would be able to muster it if given the right mechanical advantage. maybe even continuous rotation servos winding cables.

In all cases, problems can be avoided by powering the servo from a separate +5 supply.
