Testing the hand with a Breadboard

[Fighting For Freedom]

Hi is it possible to test the hand with a breadboard? 

I used 6 servos connected with a pack of 4 AA batteries 6volt, but the batteries are getting hot. 

I read somewhere that feeding the power through a solderless breadboard that the contacts in the breadboard are not intended for high current.

Thank you Gael for your help, much appreciated.

And making your amazing 3D printed robot available for everybody!

Hello,

You have read correctly, a breadboard is not intended for high current. Having 6 servos might still be okay until the breadboard will start to melt.

Another issue you might notice is that servos can jitter because they can not get enough current.

A pack of 4 AA batteries is too small for a 6 servo demand, you should have 2 packs of 4 AA in parallel. This will give more amps to your servos with the same 6V voltage.
