Re: Servos, cameras, and inverting limit switches

Servos require a power jumper on the bare pins beside the PWM output the servo uses. This jumper routes power out the PWM, otherwise the servo gets a PWM signal, but no power for it's motor.

The default Dashboard is equipped to handle a camera connected directly to the robot bridge. The camera must be setup using the Axis Camera Utility, and the Dashboard needs the Enable button pushed.

Limit Switch direction depends on how it's been wired as well as the code.
