Servo programming
 

I'm having trouble trying to program a servo. Everytime I press the button that should make it rotate it does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Servo programming
 

This should be running in a loop. Like this

You are absolutely correct. I forgot that statement. Servo still won't work. It doesn't even default when I reset the robot. Wiring?

Re: Servo programming
 

Also, Servo.set() takes a value from 0 to 1, rather then -1 to 1 like a motor.

You can also use code tags to keep your formatting when posting code.

Did you install the servo jumper in the digital sidecar?

Re: Servo programming
 

No I did not... Found and inserted the jumper and is now working. Thank you!

Re: Servo programming
 

What is a servo jumper? If you could help me with that just pm me. Thanks :)

What does it look like?

It looks like the picture in the 2013 Kit of Parts black tote checklist revB.
