i am using a towerpro 9g sg90 servo
and i am trying to connect 3 servos to form 3 joints in a robotic arm.
the project involves ice cream sticks that are connected to the servos and shafts through hot glue.
i am attempting to create an arm and operate it with an adxl345 accelerometer.
My Issue:
The output shaft can barely stay on the sg90 servo and keeps coming off.
But it works fine in the video, is there a key step i am missing in connecting the shaft to the servo arm?
You aren't showing us how you did it.
By the way, most of the knowledgeable helpers around here, don't have time to sit through videos. Please post all relevant information here, where we can all read it.
i don't understand your question, should i explain the entire setup to the arduino?
i am sorry, i'll update the initial post.
How you attached the shaft...
No! Please don't update posts that have been commented on. Have you read the forum guidelines?
Only if it's relevant to what sounds like a mechanical issue...
i fixed the servo directly to the shaft.
the shaft is connected to an ice-cream stick using hot glue.
when moving even slightly, the shaft comes off the servo arm.
If that worked, it would be an adequate description, we could just trust it. But because it doesn't, we will need images and/or diagrams instead of words.
Imagine how many things, "fixed directly to" could mean...
That's a mechanical issue/question, not an Arduino matter.
It's true! But many people here would help anyway, since many Arduino projects use them. However it won't excuse you, @xfreakyx from providing enough useful information.
yes i am in the process of taking pictures of my setup,
i am sorry if i am breaking any guidelines, i am new to the arduino scene, please excuse me!
I hope that does not mean you have not gone and read those...
The retainer screw is supposed to go into the servo axle, not the apparatus. The multiple small holes are what those are for...
Small wonder, it falls off.
You just need to use the servo arms the way they were designed to work.
Primarily, you must use the retaining screw to connect the armature to the servo shaft.
Thank you for your reply,
but the servo shaft and the armature dont have grooves to accomodate the screws provided with the servo
According to what I said before, you need to provide photos of that.
Screws don't normally require "grooves" so I don't know what you mean by that.
