| Aug 8, 2016 at 3:47 | comment | added | Passerby | @hyperexpert why? Just solder the two servos to the same pin or "splice the wires". That's the simplest solution... | |
| Aug 8, 2016 at 3:19 | comment | added | hyperexpert | Ok! so in this case, I will need to connect one of the servos to external power. Which is what I wanted to avoid to make the setup more "portable" | |

| Aug 8, 2016 at 3:14 | comment | added | Passerby | @hyperexpert yes, you can use the VCC pins as power output. No, you normally can't connect 5V in to the RAW pin, due to the regulator's minimum input voltage (It's dropout voltage). | |

| Aug 8, 2016 at 3:11 | comment | added | hyperexpert | Got it! So for my diagram, is it ok to supply regulated power to the RAW pin and use two servos from both VCC's? or not two servos, but two powered devices from both VCC's? Is that technically possible? | |
