    So I pulled this motor out of a worxx corded chainsaw, and i can't find any information on what kind of motor is.

    This is my first build and I'm using a arduino Leonardo with an hbridge and a encoder, I have all of this already and I plan to use an old psu from a junk computer, I just don't know if this servo will work...

    Thanks for any information :)

    I think it's ac cause there's no dc converter on it ....that's a problem isn't it.
