Hello guys!
I'm working on a project where I have attached a HMC5883L and MPU 9250. The readings from both the devices are fine.
Problem is when I servo write my MPU value to servo motor, it's heating up to the point it stops working.
I was wondering that is it a coincident that two of the servos turned out to be faulty or is it something in the code causing that?
thanks!
I have attached the code below
headcode.ino (10.6 KB)
Do not attempt to power motors or servos from the Arduino.
Use a separate power supply (4xAA battery pack is fine for one servo) and connect the grounds.
I'm using a dedicated power supply. The power supply I'm using is in the link below:
This power supply provides for the Arduino and the servos at the same time. Could that possibly be the problem?
Does your servo work properly using the servo-sweep example?

hadn't tried it before running it with the code, but definitely not after burning...

Then you need a new servo - but you probably did not need me to tell you that.
The overheating may have been caused by your code trying to force the motor beyond its physical end-stop. Servos are not designed to be able to produce their maximum torque continuously.

Thank you for your insight.
