Servo Programming
 
Hello Delphi, I've spent all of tonight trying to program a servo for the first time.... I set it up in Robot Builder and created buttons that would run the code "servo.set(.1)" or "servo.setAngle(70)" via commands (servo being the name of it) we wired the servo up and tried the buttons, but nothing, we also tried 'test mode' where RobotBuilder has coded in a slider that should set the servo rotation on a scale of 0-1 however this still did nothing. We have swapped out the servos with brand new ones still nothing. We tried plugging a motor/ speecontroller in where the servo is supposed to be and suprisingly it spun the motor! As with most programming I'm hoping I just forgot something silly, if you know or have any advice on servo programming please comment, Thanks! -5236.

Did you install the servo power (6v) jumper in the digital sidecar?

No we did not! Didn't know that was necessary. Thanks so much, works great now!
