I'm 100% sure my servo is not broken, as this happens with all of them. I am also sure my arduino is properly working. I really don't understand why this isn't working. Here's a video of it: https://youtube.com/shorts/x4f7BIwKeog I am sure my wiring is correct.
A video shows nothing useful.
Please read the forum posting guidelines.
As always, you must show us your sketch and a good image of the wiring and a schematic.
I'm sure I am wiring it correctly. The video was to show that the arduino works, as shown by the LED.
It is impossible to easily glean the information that we need to be able to help you from the video. Please read the how to get the most from the forum post. The post contains information on what we need to know in order to help you.
Post the formatted code in code tags.
Please post a schematic. Hand drawn, photographed and posted is fine. Include all pin names/numbers, components, their part numbers and/or values and power supplies.
Post clear photos of the wiring.
The Arduino is not a power supply. Servos require external power. Make sure that the external power supply ground is connected to the Arduino ground. A 4 AA cell battery pack is a good supply for a couple of servos.
I would check the white wire and the white wire... then I would change wire colors and draw a diagram. The RED LED was not lit. Maybe you only compiled/verified the code, and did not upload it (to run)?
alright, i will reupload with better schems
Sorry, I will remove parts and film a better video. I am unable to do actual schematics right now.
Hi @uhaio21 ,
Welcome to the forum..
and yes, video is hard to follow..
paused it on the code view..
typed it into a sim, hooked up a servo and led..
didn't really do much, just a quick twitch..
expanded the code a bit to sweep servo back and forth..
see it here.. Mega Servo Sweep
code seems good, check all wires again..
good luck.. ~q
try giving the servo another angle besides zero.
Place a delay() after each Servo1.write(angle)
