Rather than modify the servo could I just use a regular motor?

[thejetdrvr]

@MarkZanon1 No. Not enough torque to move switch. The servo is geared.

Why use a servo? your mod makes the servo function like a motor

[thejetdrvr]

@455898334 The mod doesn't make it function like a motor since it already functions as a motor, just controlled by an integrated circuit chip. What this mod does is take out the controller while keeping the gearing, so you still get the torgue. Think of my version as an "analog" system. There is a way to use a servo with an IC (integrated circuit) "The brains". It's just a matter of which version you want to tinker with.

[AznAlacran]

how did you learn to make this?

[thejetdrvr]

@AznAlacran Trial and error.

[fury717]

works with a normal motor

[howcraftismade]

can you make another video on the wiring for the switch :):):)

[soymax2]

Where do I buy all these materials?

[adodusi]

hi, what should i aks at my local shop in order to get the proper electric parts?

would you mind giving me a list to show please?

[hiimginacalamia]

can i buy one from you?

[MrDondoerner]

@3ntomology hey--- how did you do it?

[MrDondoerner]

@thejetdrvr Hi Can you tell what the futaba servo number is? S3004?

[MrDondoerner]

@thejetdrvr Hi Can you tell what the futaba servo numer is? S3004?

[aerohunter25]

what kind of switch you're using?

[alerios667]

i dint understand what is that thing on 2:22

[chafalote]

@thejetdrvr Is that a Futuba s3003 servo?

[chafalote]

@thejetdrvr Is that a Futuba S3003 servo ?

[louie912]

thank you man, I just built my own useless machine thanks to this video. :)

[TheCutiepie7890]

@thejetdrvr may i please watch the video to buy it because i really want it for christmas

[lucashc2]

It is possible to use a Windscreen wiper motor for it? I'm im Brazil and the shipping has abusive price for me.

[Scaryd3k]

@thejetdrvr Can you send me a photo of it? I live in Vietnam and it's difficult to find the sevro w/o a picture. Thnks.

[ByRecentDesign]

55,720 people made a "world most useless machine"

[3ntomology]

cutting and soldering of the wires is unneccessary. I figured out how to make one of these myself with a servo, and I didnt have to go through the hassle of cutting wires and soldering- works completely fine with the 3 wires

[Rockindan10]

so much work for an useless machine don' xDt ya think?

[skipjack91]

sorry can you show me how the mechanism for opening the lid works? I can see it's rather simple but I can't quite understand how it works.

thanks!!

by the way great tutorial!

[nannidapisa89]

I take a deviator and not interructor?
