Re: Would my circuit be functional?
Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2021 9:40 amSorry for late response. What's the output of your wimos mini? Is it 5V or 3.3V?

Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2021 4:27 amA Wemos (or any ESP based board) always outputs 3.3V levels, unless a level-shifter (like a transistor) is used, but this has to be added by yourself.

Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2021 8:48 amFrom your attached diagram it looks like you are connecting the servo's power pin (red) to the 5V pin of wimos. I prefer using a separate power supply for the servo. In your arrangement, chances are high that MG996 will not get sufficient current to run. It may work at the beginning. But you may see the servo making only vibration and not rotating properly after sometimes.
