Re: [FTC]: Servo Problems?

I'm going from memory here so disclaimers apply...

As I recall, anytime a command is sent to a servo, all servos attached to that controller receive a signal. Usually they are just sent their last last value so no change in position is seen. This behavior can cause problems the first time any servo is called--the rest of the servos attached to that controller do not have a previous position so they all default to their zero position and hence all move at once. The fix is to initialize all servos to their desired neutral position and then everything should work as expected. If you are a LabVIEW team, you can post your code and I can show you how to do this.
