Guys,

Can I use ULN2003 for driving MG996R servo ?
Thanks
 

Usually it’s datasheet does not give a stall current, just a much lower running current of 500mA-900mA (no load maybe). An MG996R can draw up to 2.5A stall currents at 6V ( by trying to force it out of position) so difficult to use the ULN2003 (500mA max per channel), maybe using all channels in parallel.
