Hey!
I’m new to Arduino and I’m trying to run 4 servos (soon to be 5)
Each servo has 2 push buttons - One for clockwise and the other for counterclockwise.
I’m getting a lot of ‘jittering, vibrating’ and also the push buttons seems to only work sometimes.
I wanted to know if its a problem with the power supply, layout or code?
Any help will be much appreciated
