My problem is regarding servo rotation, The blink and other examples ran well on my new arduino board.
I have connected yellow wire - Pin 9(PWM)
black wire - ground pin on arduino board
red wire - +5v power on arduino board
Board is powered via USB.
Uploaded the sweep program and when the board started running the servo rotation was in step. Like it rotated in steps took many seconds(30+) to complete half-roatation.
I refer datasheet of hs-311 and came across following:
Dead Band Width: 5usec
Operating Angle: 40° one side pulse traveling 400usec
Direction: Clockwise/Pulse Traveling 1500 to 1900usec
What does this mean?
If any body have worked with this component please share some information.
The Sweep example delays 15 milliseconds between steps so it should take about 2.7 seconds per sweep:
for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
If it's taking 43.2 seconds per sweep that means your processor is running at the factory default 1 MHz instead of the Arduino normal 16 MHz. If that is the case the Blink example would also have been very slow. Is the servo turning the full 180 degrees forward and back?
The servo might be drawing more power than the Arduino can provide. Try supplying a separate 4.8V to 6.0V (1A or more) power supply for the servo. Connect Red and Black to the servo power supply. Connect Yellow and Black to the Arduino.

Thank you for your kind help. The problem is solved, I took four 1.5V AA Batteries and connected them to my one of the servos.
The servo worked perfectly fine.
But...
One servo out of my two servos one is in wrong position. Its in the 45 degree angle. It completes 0 to 180 degree but its slant.
One servo out of my two servos one is in wrong position. Its in the 45 degree angle. It completes 0 to 180 degree but its slant. Any suggesstions? It makes buzzing noise too.....
Buzzing often occurrs when the servo is straining against its internal rotation hard stop (generally not a good practice). If the angle has to do with the servo horn position, remove the horn screw and reposition the horn on the hren splines, then replace the screw.

There are various problems occuring with testing my two servo motor. The example code in the arduino ide is ineffective. Can you provide resource related to servo programming in arduino.
Servo motors doesn't back and forth when the code is uploaded...Why?
This code doesn't work on HS-311 Servo motors. The servo is making buzzing noise.
