Re: Problems running servos

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your inputs (no pun intended

One thought I did have was to make sure the port we are using has a recorded 6 V difference on the DSC which it does. I also did hardcode a value in for the servo and no response. The DSC is also getting power since we have other hardware hooked into it and it is functioning properly with the correct C++ code.

I never thought about the servo not operating in the conventional signal range so that is something to look at. I am new to FRC so I am still learning where things go etc., but I do know some programming so I feel reasonably confident that the code is correct, especially since the analogous code for the motors work fine.

For feverittm: If the 6V jumper were not present, what would happen? In other words, would there still be a voltage difference across the leads?

Thanks everyone for your quick replies.
