I have the pololu servo controller working with Serial - no issues. I'd like to use NewSoftSerial and use a different pin for output, but no matter what I try, I get the red LED on and flashing green (baud rate too high). Stumped - is there a compatibility issue? I am setting the baud rate to 9600 - same as for Serial.
When using Serial, after some time of no output changes, the yellow light comes on and the servo moves slightly - can anyone tell me what's going on here?
I am running version 0020, hooked to a pololu servo controller. Everything works fine when I use Serial but I'm trying to move to SoftwareSerial or NewSoftwareSerial. Using SoftwareSerial, I have added:
for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
Serial.print(buff[i], BYTE);
sss.print(buff[i], BYTE);
}
If I connect the pololu SIN to pin1 (TX) everything is fine. If I change the SIN wire to pin3 (output for sss) then when the arduino powers up, I get the red light and flashing green (before any calls to move the motor - this is just on power up).
