Ground connection issues servo

Hello together,

I have an issue with following test setup. Maybe one of you have an advice.

Following setup:

  • ESP8226 dev board supplied by laptop USB port
  • Servo MG995 supplied by external supply

Without ground connection between those 2 supplies servo is somehow reacting.

If I conenct ground from external supply and USB supply then servo does not turn.

How can you explain this?

Thanks
Hallower

Please post your sketch, using code tags when you do, and a schematic of your project. A photo of a hand drawn circuit is good enough
