XYZrobot 6 DOF Robotic Arm features six A1-16 smart servos. |

Overview
The A1-16 smart servo from XYZrobot is specifically designed for applications that require a lot of strong and complex actuation, such as humanoid robots, hexapod robots, and robotic arms. These are the same servos that are used in XYZrobot’s Bolide Y-01 Advanced Humanoid Robot and 6 DOF Robotic Arm. Unlike common RC hobby servos, these servos are capable of 360° continuous rotation while still offering position control over an effective range of 330°. They feature a TTL serial interface that is used to configure and control the servo and get feedback about position, speed, and temperature. Multiple servos can be daisy-chained on the same serial bus. Each servo also features a four-color LED that serves as a visual error indicator by default, making it possible to quickly determine if one or all servos in the chain are experiencing a problem. Alternatively, this LED can be manually controlled through the serial interface.

Note: These are not RC servos and do not use the same protocol, so they will not work with standard RC receivers and servo controllers.
