 :o  That looks promising!
I hope it passes the stress-test.   :applaud:

That's much simpler than I thought you were going to build.  Simplicity is good!

Very nice!  When you wrote servo, all I could envision was those big servo motors on one of my vinyl cutters :)

I see that these gizmos are pretty common out there for RC / robotics apps and even come with a handful of actuators to play with.  I have a nice switchable stick build that might get one of these bolted on to see how well it can handle it.  I'm a little concerned about the torque and longevity, but it's definitely worth a try (now that I understand what these are)  There's also the "what if" scenario of something getting stuck.  They don't give up until they are in position, and I'm not sure what happens if they are physically prevented from getting there for a length of time.  Maybe that's what the gear rebuild kits are for :).

wow, that's awesome
