Thanks everyone! |
The little note at the bottom of the document you linked to says:

"NOTE: This unit produces a PWM signal only; it does not supply power to
devices. Devices such as servos, speed controllers etc. need a separate power
supply"

No power on the middle pin to power the servo. There's you problem right there.
