Jerky Servo Motion

I started working with a JD robot a couple of days ago. I am looking to create fluid motion from pose to pose. I am programming the motion via the Script Collection (Python). This is resulting in a relatively smooth motion at a constant speed, but I would like to create acceleration or motion profiles to make the motion look more lifelike. Below is...

Servo Jumping On Initialisation

The dreaded jumping servo problem has arisen again - just today. All servos in the robot are HDD. The servo on port D0 now jumps after connecting, to about 35 degrees instead of 90 degrees. If I move the servo manually when turned off, the centre position is still 90 degrees, so the sprocket has not shifted. My INIT script has not changed. That...

Controlling Servos For Robotic Arm

Hello, I purchased this robotic arm (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-192.html#:~:text=DFLG6DOF%20is%20a%20bionic%20robotic,be%20rotated%20about%20180%20degrees) and wanted to control it via ARC. Should the servos be compatible? I also think it could have something to do my power adapter. I am using a 9V DC 800 mA adapter.
