Hi, I am using a servo to turn a food dispenser, which is triggered when a word is said by my Twitch chat bot. This works with a normal servo, however I chose to switch to a continuous servo to better control the amount of food. The setup is like this:
I am using a NodeMCU ESP8266 like this:
When I connect the power or signal cable, the servo twitches slightly. It only does this on the D1 (5) signal pin. However, nothing happens when the keyword is triggered. I don't believe the problem is the Twitch chatbot setup as this works with a normal servo.
