Grumpy_Mike:
And I expect the servo controller to initialise the servo correctly
You might expect it but no.
That call to pinMode( pin, OUTPUT) in the Servo library looks like it should initialize the pin correctly:
uint8_t Servo::attach(int pin, int min, int max)
{
if(this->servoIndex < MAX_SERVOS ) {
pinMode( pin, OUTPUT) ; // set servo pin to output
servos[this->servoIndex].Pin.nbr = pin;
// todo min/max check: abs(min - MIN_PULSE_WIDTH) /4 < 128
this->min = (MIN_PULSE_WIDTH - min)/4; //resolution of min/max is 4 uS
this->max = (MAX_PULSE_WIDTH - max)/4;
// initialize the timer if it has not already been initialized
timer16_Sequence_t timer = SERVO_INDEX_TO_TIMER(servoIndex);
if(isTimerActive(timer) == false)
initISR(timer);
servos[this->servoIndex].Pin.isActive = true; // this must be set after the check for isTimerActive
}
return this->servoIndex ;
}
