I want to drive several RC mini-servos in parallel with one control signal. The servos are similar to Pololu Sub-Micro Servo 3.7g (Generic)
I understand that I could drive two with a Y cable. But what if I want to drive 6? 8?
I am planning on connecting multiple buffers (SN74LVC1G34) in parallel with one servo driver output. The servo driver is the Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Shield - I2C interface
Product ID: 1411).
The power supply is strong enough to drive multiple servos. It’s a 5V 20A supply.
But what about the signal? How much current is required? I’ve been searching for this information to design drive buffers, but have not had any luck.
The SN74LVC1G34 looks like each driver needs 1uA...
A) Will this work and B) what am I missing?
Thanks,
