Hi Guys. This just sent to Picaxe Forum who have provided the most expert advice so far ...Hi Guys. I just googled "5v automatic switch off if 5v voltage low" and the AI Overview said what I was looking for, between Picaxe 28X2 computer and servo. BUT, looking at the details of various low cost products, I did not see the important information. What I think the need is: switch OFF the red power lead if voltage drops below a threshold. e.g. 4.0v. AND only switch back on if above a higher voltage threshold. e.g. 5.0v. Why ? Because I think that it would go into an osculation. i.e. when below a single threshold, like 4.5v, switching off the (stalled) servo load would result in the voltage rising quickly again. This is reflected on all the tests on Snoopy's Robot Boat in our front garden. All documented in detail, including pictures, videos, and voltages, on "Blog11" on www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm Take Care. Robin. www.gpss.co.uk & Snoopy on www.gpss.co.uk/autop.htm
