SELECT

This diagram shows the correct way to connect a servo to the X1 MF.

Note: the servo is driven by a lithium battery connected to the balancing board.

The X1 MF can test most digital and analog servos. To test for basic
servo functionality, please connect as follows:

1. Connect a lithium battery to the balancing board.
2. Connect your servo to the SERVO/ESC port on the X1 MF. Pay close
attention to the polarity: negative is farthest from the notch/key tab.
3. Turn the dial left and right to move the servo.
