Servo signal and power
A servo needs power, ground, and one signal wire. Keep the grounds common, and avoid loading the Arduino 5V pin with heavy mechanical loads.

MG90 Servo Motor item guide for MakerAccess vending machine projects.
Item guide
MG90 Servo Motor
This article explains how to use MG90 Servo Motor in a MakerAccess project, with the key concepts, build route, and useful reference links.
Purpose
What it is for
MG90 Servo MotorMoves arms, gates, wheels, and mechanisms with controlled rotation.
Concepts
Motors convert electrical energy into motion. Servos move to controlled positions, while DC motors usually spin continuously.
Motors often draw more current than a microcontroller pin can safely provide, so the circuit may need a driver or suitable kit board.
Build path
How to use it
Start small, test the fit or circuit, then combine it with the rest of the project.
1
Check voltage and current before wiring the motor.
2
Test the motor alone before attaching wheels, arms, or gears.
3
Mount the motor firmly so vibration does not loosen the build.
Connection guide
Wiring maps for the first test
Use the visual map before adding extra modules, displays, motors, or code.
