Re: Stupid servo

"Have you installed a jumper on the pins next to the PWM's so that the servo gets 5 volt power?"

Yep

"Stupid question: did you enable the robot from the Driver Station?"

Yep n_n b

If you can move it by hand (and it doesn't try to resist) when the robot is on but there's no programming, it is not wired correctly* Try a different servo.

No resistance at all so I'll try a different one tomorrow but I remember trying it on a vex robot and it worked fine. I don't know how the wiring could be wrong it's on the dsc with a jumper right next to it. I put the yellow to sig and red and black to positive and negative.

Re: Stupid servo

If you're unsure about the wire colors, you could try flipping the connector going to the DSC; they tend to act funny when plugged in backwards.

If I did, since nothing else seems to be working, could that screw with it in any way? It's working fine on the vex robot by the way.
