arduino - Powering an old RC servo - Can't find the datasheet


I'm testing my arduino with servos, and my sg90 works fine for testing purpouses.


I would like to use something stronger, and my father (that in the 80s used to work with RC autos) gave me this old but promising servo.

I know I can't supply power with arduino if I want it to survive august, and I know all the servos work around 4.8-6v.


The problem is I can't really find any datasheet for this servo, and I would like to know at least the current drain to dimension my external power supply (or how can I misure it. All the wires are black, making it even harder).

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
