Re: [FTC]: LABView Servo Problem

While I'm not familiar with Labview, I can make mechanical suggestions.

- Make sure that there is nothing restricting motion. I might look clear, but watch out for clashing metal, I've noticed that the metal needs to be cut away from the servo or else it'll get caught on the clamp.

- Make sure your wires are in properly. A reverse or improper wiring can either reverse the signal or short out the servo.

- Make sure that your servo has the proper range of motion. For our bot, i had to make sure the servos were centered when i was attaching the device to the servo. If the servo is all the way to one end of it's scope, then it will not move the full range of motion you expect it to.

Other than that, I think it's a code problem.
