hi everyone i have a problem.. i hooked up 8 mirco servos to the arduino duemilanove.. im able to control them fine but they seemed to be especially jittery.. sometimes when i send a command to move a particular servo the rest of the servos seemed to be affected as well and start to spasm like nuts.. wads happening and how can i fix it?
Have you wired a separate power supply for the servos?
Did you remember to common the grounds?
the servos have a common ground and draw power from the usb connected to the com.. is that the problem?

Oh yes!
You need to provide a supply capable of at least 100mA per servo.
