0 to 180 and make sure you have a jumper on the two pin connector next to the pmw of your choice.

[akash992391]

i tried 0 to 180 still doesent work

[Garten Haeska]

Do you have a jumper installed?

[akash992391]

yeah i did

[Garten Haeska]

Your code should look something like this.

[akash992391]

yes i do have same one...

[Garten Haeska]

Could you post your code?

i tried 0 to 180 still doesent work

You aren't trying to lift a 10 pound weight with that servo, are you ?

[akash992391]

no i m not lifting anything

[Ether]

no i m not lifting anything

Do you have a cheap digital voltmeter handy?

Does putting the Driver Station into Test Mode, and using the Dashboard Test tab, let you move the servo?

[akash992391]

here is a code

[akash992391]

yeah i do y

[Garten Haeska]

right now your two positions are using double numeric values when i believe they should be just numeric values. (Changes the orange numbers to blue numbers)

[akash992391]

can you tell me how to change it and is my code is fine......

[Garten Haeska]

Your code looks fine. To change if from a orange 0, to a blue zero, simply just type 0 then (enter) it should change to blue, at least that is all i have to do.

[akash992391]

i pressed enter didnt change it to blue

[Garten Haeska]

i pressed enter didnt change it to blue

Alright then go to the numeric palette and select the numeric constant. (the blue one)

[akash992391]

nvm i changed it

[Garten Haeska]

But did it work?

[akash992391]

i m not sure its gonna work or not when i go back to robotics shop i will try out but thanx for helping us thanx a lot...

It's what we are here for!

Blue numbers are integers, orange numbers support a decimal, so can encode numbers between the integers. That is a good thing to notice, but can you see that the orange wires aren't causing any problems? They are not the issue.

As someone mentioned, have you tried test mode? Can you hear the servo humm or buzz but not move?
