I opted out for USB power (phone charger or power bank) instead of batteries, thru a diode to 5V pin. This prevents the servomotors to be powered when the board is plugged in to computer USB for programming, because the current draw would be too high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/c2\/52\/1a\/c2521aca318776fca8279ccf067915c7.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/c2\/52\/1a\/c2521aca318776fca8279ccf067915c7.jpg?resize=840%2C473&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A useless machine that flips down a switch.
