## Pricing

- **Price:** $25.75 (inc GST) — $23.41 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $22.47 (exc GST) · 25+ $21.77 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 21 and Aug 24.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-3438:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-3438:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The FS0403-FB is a specially modified version of FEETECH’s [FS0403 sub-micro analog servo](https://core-electronics.com.au/feetech-sub-micro-servo-fs0403.html) that provides access to the feedback potentiometer through a fourth (green) wire, which makes it possible to directly measure the output angle. With this extra information, you can determine when the servo has reached its target position (or detect if something is interfering with its ability to get there). This feedback also enables more complex closed-loop control of the servo from your main controller.

Like the FS0403, the FS0403-FB works with standard RC servo pulses, providing an operating angle of approximately 120° over a servo pulse range of 900 µs to 2100 µs. The feedback voltage varies linearly over this range by a couple of volts. As with most servos, the pulse range can be expanded to achieve an expanded operating angle, but the limits of this are not specified by FEETECH. (In Pololu's tests, Pololu were able to get an expanded range of approximately 180° over a pulse range of 650 µs to 2500 µs, but as this is not part of FEETECH’s official specifications, it is possible different units will behave differently in this regard.)

The servo signal, power, and ground are provided through a 3-wire servo cable that is terminated with a standard [JR-style connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/jr-connector-pack-female.html), which is Futaba-compatible. The feedback is accessible through a separate green wire that is terminated like Pololu's female [premium jumper wires](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/prototyping-wire.html) and works with standard [0.1" male header pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/headers.html). These cables are approximately 6" (15 cm) long.
