The DS3218 is a large torque digital servo with precision potentiometers, offering stable, low noise operation. It is IP66 waterproof ideal for operations under water splash. These are built with high-precision metal gears with hard anodizing, CNC aluminium middle Shell, and dual ball bearings.
The DSServo DS3218 20KG offers exceptional quality and top-notch finishing that is hard to match. The metal gears and robust casing speak volumes about its durability. The torque is incredible, making it ideal for a variety of applications from robotics to RC cars. I've seen some YouTube videos claiming it's not a digital servo, but I can't confirm this. However, its performance has been consistently outstanding in my experience, digital or not. Overall, a reliable, high-performing servo that definitely warrants its price point. Highly recommended!
Case is nice and sturdy all ports are perfectly aligned it has enough room for hat , especially if you want use Geekworm X1002 PCIe to M.2 2280 hat for nvme.
The only thing is missing is heat dissipation cut outs on the top of the case , If it has heat dissipation holes on the top it will be much better however case is having many cutout on the front bottom and right side but , for active cooler to release instant heat top side cutout will be much better .
Next thing it will be better If it comes with rubber feet so that in case we don't want to mount on wall we can place on table little bit risen up from the surface.
It comes with rail mount and wall mount which is very good.
with offical RPI5 active cooler and if cooler is not running (only passive heat release)the ideal temp of pi 5 stays around 53 degree Celsius when room's ambient temperature is around 18 degrees , and its running on raspberry pi os .
what will be the temp. on summers that i yet to experience.
