Hi there,
I am using the following code on my arduino micro to control a servo:
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ // in steps of 1 degree
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=1) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
}
Jup it's from the sweep tutorial..
So the thing is when I connect the servo data cable to the arduino it immediately turns counterclockwise forcing itself against it's mechanical stop. I'm using a sanwa srm102. It came with sanwa dash saber remote/receiver kit. I am using an external power source and I am not trying to run it trough the arduino itself.....
I later then stripped the code to this
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
}
and still the same problem, so it seems by just attaching the servo it already malfunctions .
I am probably doing something wrong, any help would be appreciated!
