Hi,
Thank you for the replies!
I'm not sure why I missed including the servo model the first time. It's a 1501MG 6V servo.
I'm taking a 6V 500ma power supply and feeding it through a 7805 with two 22pF caps.
The servo power supply is four feet from a gutted wall-wart to the 7805, and within another foot of wire from there to the servo..
oric_dan, I'm aware that I'll label my thread 'cursed' but it's just me not understanding something here xP You mention not using USB power. How would I accomplish that without losing the serial connection?
Thanks,
-BBX
