Hey guys,
This is pretty much the first time I've ever attempted something like this, I don't have much knowledge on this type of stuff. But I feel like I'm overlooking something simple or small, so I came here for help.
I'm trying to make it to where a servo is rotated when a command is typed into my Twitch chat to trigger a feeder for my ducks.
The bot enters chat fine with "Ready to go Boss!"
but that's all I get, it compiles fine in IDE though.
Using the ESP8266 and the servo on a breadboard with yellow signal wire on D1, red power on VIN, and brown on GND. I've also used a 5V power supply for bread boards and tried attaching the red power wire to it, after verifying it was giving me 5V DC.
With red power connected to VIN, the servo moves to a fixed location and refuses to move either way, this only happens when yellow signal is connected to D1, unplugged or in another port the servo moves freely by hand.
This is the servo

This is the ESP8266
It would only let me post 2 links, if you need the breadboard and power supply links let me know and ill see if i can post more in the comments.
Any help or input helping me understand this and get this working would be amazing!
Thank you all for any help you have to offer!
This is the code
