Tinkerkit shield / Futaba S3003 servo

Other Hardware General Electronics

Hello,

I'm discovering the tinkerkit shield with its capabilities and have a little problem:

  • When I plug the "tinker kit" servo (a SpringGRC SM-S4303R continuous rotation servo) on the "O0" output (pin 9) with the default "sweeper" example, the servo begins to rotate as expected, slows down and rotates in the opposite direction
  • When I plug a Futaba S3003 servo with the same wiring (Black / Red / White)... nothing happens !
  • If I replug the SM-S4303R it works again (the shield isn't cooked :slight_smile: )

I've got two brand new Futaba servos, none is working.

I may be missing something but cant't understand what... so can anybody help me ? :slight_smile:

Thks

Thomas

are u using the arduio to power the futaba servo?
because i think the futaba s pretty hungry for power
