• Enables control of a servo by simply turning the spindle of a variable resistor
• Servo mirrors the movement, turning through a corresponding angle
• Can be used for precise positional movement at a distance - two or more boards can be used to provide axes for a robotic arm
• As long as the board is powered, the servo holds its stationary position
• High gearing ratio acts as a hand brake even when power is removed
• Requires 4 x AA batteries
