Servo Controller Power Issues....

Ok well I have a thread made for the current project of mine here:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...056#post614056

Basically what I am trying to do is control this Servo controller.

AS for the actual circuitry, the servo power and control power are seperate but the grounds are connected on the PCB. So when I am sending commands to it I have power on the servo lines then I will jump it to the control lines so I only need on battery pack, and the controller will accept the commands just like it should but it won't move the servo like it should. Now when I do this but with a battery pack on the control power and ground and a battery pack on the servo power and ground it will work. I am just wondering why it only works with 2 seperate sources of power. Any insight would be helpful

Thanks,
John
