Hello,
I am a new user of Arduino. I am working on a project with a robotic mechanism with 5+ servos. One of them is an SCS 15 Feetech servo motor. I have found (after a long searching) the library SCServo.h which is needed to control the servo from Arduino UNO and I have connected it via a TT Linker as shown in many pictures in web. I currently look how the library works and I can't find out. I have place a code (as shown below) but servo doesn't move. Is there anyone who knows how this library works or she/he has used a same motor through arduino in order to guide me?
It would be glad to find someone who knows how it is done. Thank you very much in advance!
Arduino Code:
#include <SCServo.h>
SCServo SERVO;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(1000000);//init Serial baudrate
delay(500);
SERVO.EnableTorque(0xfe,1);
}
void loop()
{
u16 i;
for(i = 0;i < 1024; i++)
{
SERVO.WritePos(0xfe,i,100);//All Servo(broadcast) rotate to the position:i
delay(10);
}
for(i = 1024; i > 0; i–)
{
SERVO.WritePos(0xfe,i,100);//All Servo(broadcast) rotate to the position:i
delay(10);
}
}

Please use code tags (</> button on the toolbar) when you post code or warning/error messages. The reason is that the forum software can interpret parts of your code as markup, leading to confusion, wasted time, and a reduced chance for you to get help with your problem. This will also make it easier to read your code and to copy it to the IDE or editor. Using code tags and other important information is explained in the How to use this forum post . Please read it.
Please always do a Tools > Auto Format on your code before posting it. This will make it easier for you to spot bugs and make it easier for us to read.

Hi, everybody. I found a widget. Can anyone tell me how to use it?
OP: That is what your post looks like. If you need help with a library, POST A LINK TO IT.
Sorry for mistakes, I am a new user and I am desperate with this servo so I even forgot to read about posting in here.
Sorry once more! Hope to get some help over this project!

Can you please further explain me how I can do this? I am really a newbie and I don't understand what you mean.
Thank you very much

Where did you get the library? That is what we need to know.
Normaly there should be a link for download in reservozone.com (but site doesn't work for long now). So I searched and found the .h and .cpp files seperately (I don't remember where did I find them, it is weeks ago). I can upload the files here if this may help further.
Thank you very much!

It wouldn't hurt. Providing help without them seems unlikely.

OK. Now you need to provide links to the "SCS 15 Feetech servo motor" and "TT Linker", and a diagram showing how the servo is connected to the Arduino and how it is powered.
The servo is connected to ttlinker as shown in the picture. Power supply is from an alternator 220V AC to 7,5V DC, and ground are all the same.

I don't see anything in that picture that shows that anything is actually connected to anything.
I don't see anything in that picture that tells me what a "SCS 15 Feetech servo motor" is or what a "TT Linker" is.
Feel free to not post any links. I'll feel free to stop responding.
Hi
Did you ever get these servos to work? I have 2 and I cannot get them to move.
Cheers
I finally got these going. The version of the Arduino library that I had was incorrect. I had the same version as the person above.
Cheers
hej stewartmenday,
could please send me a link for the correct version of the library?
Thank you...
