Servos not getting right voltage

ok my cmucam takes picture perfectly but my servos dont move. we tested the pulse width modulation on our oscilloscope and it is giving out the right pulses and the batter is giving out 7.5 but we test the pins where the servos connect and it is giving out only 1.5. what do you think the problem is?

Re: Servos not getting right voltage

Are your servos connected to the camera or the robot controller?

Re: Servos not getting right voltage

If the servos are plugged directly into the camera, make sure the "servo power" jumper is connected properly.
