Severino and servo library

Projects Programming

Hi,

probably answered somewhere but I couldn't find it.
For instance: a simple program that prints few letters or numbers over serial connection stops working or starts printing strange signs, when Servo library is just included. Could it be too little RAM or can it be something else ? Same program works normaly on Uno.

Same program works normaly on Uno.

But fails on?

Or, did you mean that it works without the Servo library?

Which version of the IDE?. Also post the code!.

Without servo #include <Servo.h> works fine. I also tried, just in case some other libraries and with some of them it also doesn't work.
That's why I wonder if some libraries could cause, AtMega8 to ran out of SRAM.

Here's the simple code: 555 is just something to print

#include <Servo.h>

void setup() {                
   Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  delay(300);
  Serial.println(555);
}

Which card did you select from the list in the IDE?.

Ng or older AtMega8

I did many things on severino, but just noticed that importing some libraries like Servo stops serial connection from working properly.
So instead of 555 it starts writng ___ or && & %& or completely stops.

I've tested it in 0023 1.0, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3.

Also I first thought it might be a linux problem but I've tried on 3 different computers.
