Re: Servo Controller Power Issues....

If it didn't recognize the data the LED would be red. But I took out my multimeter out once AGAIN, and hooked it up to the battery to look at voltage. And this time I did notice the voltage getting below 5 volts. I could barely see it though because the display is so fast. I guess I would have been able to see it better with something that would record and graph it. I am guessing this is the problem. I guess it also explains why it resets when I turn the servo. Because I am stalling the motor and cause a big current draw. I was figuring this was the problem yesterday, but I didn't see any proof of with on my multimeter. Thanks for taking to time to look at the manual and help me out.

When I get better batteries I will report back.
