All my recent work has been done with the HXT900 servo, which I use mainly because it's very inexpensive, small and lightweight.<br /><br />I really wouldn't recommend using a MG995 in a humanoid. It's barely strong enough for a quadruped, and horribly imprecise. Even with a second hinge I doubt it'll be strong enough for a humanoid, and the terrible precision and tendency to overshoot will make it really hard to balance on one leg and walk.ellindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022730143917245371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428221195565260149.post-55646847189279338822015-09-30T15:03:36.565-07:002015-09-30T15:03:36.565-07:00Hey I'm following in your footsteps.

I tried to look for the parts you used online but to no avail.<br />I want to create a humanoid robot with about 17 of these servos but first I want to work on the servos.<br />Robo-One-Futurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428221195565260149.post-40496268048419149012013-03-05T09:31:21.260-08:002013-03-05T09:31:21.260-08:00I've never used the MG955 servo.

The only real improvement I made to the MG996 was to add a second hinge point on the rear of the case. I haven't done much with the walking robot in a while, I've been busy with my 3D printer. I'm also tired of trying to make cheap servos work, the last batch of MG996 servos I bought were barely usable even with rework.ellindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022730143917245371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428221195565260149.post-18248483825738983752013-03-05T09:27:14.661-08:002013-03-05T09:27:14.661-08:00did you upgrade your mg955?
