Problem with servo control

I need to have a Servo be controlled by a throttle. I have confirmed that the throttle works properly but it refuses to move the servo. How do I get this to work? Do i use the set position or set angle VI? Thank you

Re: Problem with servo control

Use Set Position, because it's inputs are similar to a throttle's outputs, not exactly the same, but workable for testing.
You should be able to wire axis 3 (if that's what the throttle is) directly into the Servo Set Position.

The Set Angle is looking for a completely different kind of value. Check the context help for details on what both of these expect as inputs.

Re: Problem with servo control

Also be sure to install the 6v power jumper for the PWM output that is connected to the servo.
