PWN pins busted?

Hey everyone, I'm new to Arduino and I think I have a problem. I recently bought a basic Servo to play with and I have been running example sketches with at and its pretty easy, however, it will not work in PWM pins: 3, 5, 6 but it will work in the PWM pins 9, 10, 11. All those pins work with basic stuff like LED's and pushbuttons, but not my Servo? Is my board broken? or am I doing something wrong? I'm using an Arduino Duemilanove and a GWS S35/STD Continuous rotation servo if that helps.

Thank you

You don't say what servo library you are using. Some only work on pins 9 and 10. Read the documentation for the library you are using to see if it is limited to these pins.

If you need more than two servos then check out some of the other libraries, such as this one: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1230479947

I'm using the standard Servo library that comes with the Arduino 12 software. I didnt even know that library thing would limit me so I will try that soon.

When troubleshooting a problem, it always makes sense to double check the documentation. The first line of the servo library [u]documentation[/u] says:

This library allows an Arduino board to control one or two RC (hobby) servo motors on pins 9 and 10.

Alright, thank you. I will do more research next time, I was just reading on the playground and it didnt say anything like that :slight_smile:
