Servo Motor Moves Back And Forth

I have a servo motor on my JD Humanoid robot that keeps adjusting about 10 degrees positive to negative. We notice it all the time, but it becomes very apparent when we try to set up the servo profile. It almost constantly adjusts back and forth. It is only one of the servo motors in the leg that does this. Is there a way to adjust the servo motor to fix this or does it just need to be replaced?

action, It sounds like the potentiometer in the servo is faulty, and the servo will have to be replaced.

Hi @action

Are you still experiencing any difficulties with the servo motor?
