Controlling a Meccano G15 personal robot servo with Arduino kit

[ncrusty]

I am trying to do what's described in the subject line. In my arduino kit I have a small servo, a Tower Pro Micro Servo 9g SG90. I can use the instructions I found at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Sweep to control this servo nicely. However when I try the same setup to control the meccano servo, the LDE light comes on fine, but the servo doesn't turn.

I'm wondering if somebody could point me to some info that might help me understand how I could control this servo with my arduino kit?

Pics of the Meccano servo are attached.

What is the "LDE light"? What controls it?

It looks as if there are two sets of 3 wires coming from the servo? Why?

How are you powering the servo?
Inadequate power is a common cause of problems. Servos should not draw their power from the Arduino.

Yes that link is exactly what I needed, specs for what this meccano servo needs.

For future googlers: I had googled many terms, including Meccano servo, and the numbers written on the servo (150615WZ, CAM-03) but came up with nothing.

Also for future reference, apparently this is a smart servo, and can be daisy chained, as described in the link above, which is why there are two inputs (one plug to go to the controller, and one plug to attach the next servo in the chain)
