    Hi
    Im new to the arduino .
    Id like to use a 60 kg servo to squeeze an air bladder .
    I understand the 60 kg servo needs its own power source which is 8.4 volts and about 5 amps
    How do i wire this to the arduino ,do i connect only the yellow pwm wire from the servo to the arduino and the black and red to a power source ?ive also read that the arduino needs a common ground ,could someone please show me by a drawing please on how this can be done ?
    Thanks
    Dave
