im planning to make a dog robot. dat uses 8 servos for walking . how many maximum servos can i run using "arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328" ? i heard dat it has 3 internal timers!! and each timer runs 2 servos and a total 6 servos can b run using atmega328 .is dat true? :~ pls try to clarify my doubt. thanks a lot.
Why are you shouting?
What is wrong with your punctuation keys?
Have you read the notes for the Servo library, and if not, why not?
im really sorry sir.
i read the servo library. but still pls explain me the "internal timer" concept
but still pls explain me the "internal timer" concept
Why, do you think it is important?
That's what the library is there for, to hide the complexity from you so you don't need to worry about it.
im using Tower pro SG90 micro servo.
but if i give it a command to stay at angle 90degrees , it jus fluctuates from 0 to 90 degrees..
wat ever angle i set, it jus keeps moving from dat angle to zero continously..
if i use HXT900 servos i didnt face dis problem..
can u pls help me with a solution..
tanx a lot!
Post your code.
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(6);
}
void loop()
{
myservo.write(90); }
this is my code to stay at 90 degrees, but my servo keeps moving between 0 to 90 degrees continously...
My guess is your processor is resetting because of the load placed on the supply by the servo.
A print in setup would show some more evidence.
but wen i use my hxt900 servos i didnt face this problem...
That's nice
so wat do u suggest me to do now?
I suggest you read reply #7.
But that's just a suggestion.
okey can u pls be more clear about that point?
Setup is called just once per reset, so if a print in setup is seen more than once, your processor is resetting.
i tried it .
i found my processor is not resetting, its working normally .
but i still have the problem
How about telling us what else you've tried, instead of telling us what it isn't doing?
Hi
As its so easy to do and you will need to do it anyway in the near future, add some dedicated power for the servos.
To see why - RCArduino: Servo Problems - Part 2 - A Demonstration
Then let us know if this helps.
