4 Servos, extra Regulator bug?

Hey guys!
I’ve never wired servos with regulators or capacitors before and I couldn’t find good examples online so Circuito.io seemed like the best option to simulate the wiring.

I need to connect 4 high powered servos to an Arduino with an external power supply.

I read around on this forum that sometimes an extra regulator is created on the right side as a bug and I wanted to confirm if my circuit contained the bug or not.

If it does contain the bug, what needs to change and what needs to be rewired?

Here’s my circuit

Here’s the forum post with the Bug report:

Thanks guys!

Hi David

Yes, your circuit does have the extra regulator. You can simply remove these three duplicate components that are on the breadboard and the wires that connect to them:

  1. L7805CV (5V regulator)
  2. Capacitor Ceramic 100nF
  3. Electrolytic Capacitor - 1uF/50V

Hope that helps
Bernhard

Edit:
To make that clearer, I’ve drawn a blue box around the components you can remove.
