Servos don't work

Hi folks!!

I'm new in this CMUcam2 world :-). I bought the camera some months ago and it works OK. Recently, I decided to buy a couple of servos for motion purposes. The model are HS-422. I've tried to use them, but they don't work...

First of all, I tried to connect them via board power, with the servo internal power jumper in place... but they don't work... the power was around 12V and the intensity about 300mA.

Then, I decided to buy another power adaptor to run the servos off of external power. I leaved the jumper opened and the servos were connected to an external power... I tried from 6V to 12V... but, still, they didn't work. Well...with 12V, the servos moved, by themselves, to the initial positions when they were connected for the first time, but then I tried to move them to another positions and they didn't move....

What Am i doing wrong???

Can anybody help me, please??

Thanks in advance,
Javier.
