I need to have a Servo be controlled by a throttle. I have confirmed that the throttle works properly but it refuses to move the servo. How do I get this to work? Do i use the set position or set angle VI? Thank you

Use Set Position, because it's inputs are similar to a throttle's outputs, not exactly the same, but workable for testing.
You should be able to wire axis 3 (if that's what the throttle is) directly into the Servo Set Position.

The Set Angle is looking for a completely different kind of value. Check the context help for details on what both of these expect as inputs.

Also be sure to install the 6v power jumper for the PWM output that is connected to the servo.
