Hey Everyone,
I am new to Arduino, and need a little help. So far I've been able to connect two hobby motors on the A and B motor connectors, but when I switched to a servo I couldn't find any support on the Tinkerkit connectors. I am using an Arduino UNO R3 with a Motor Shield R3. The servo is connected to the Tinkerkit connector ~5 on the Arduino (pictured below) and tried the code from the example (also below). The only change I made was to switch the pin from 9 to 5. When I run it, I get a slight whirring sound, but no movement.

#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(5); // attaches the servo on pin 5 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
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
}
for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
