Hardware Questions

MMA7455 Accelerometer
— I2C accelerometer for EZ-B robots, supplies IMU/acceleration data over the I2C interface.

Try loosening the screw on the lever arm and see if that does it. Also make sure the servo is not binding on the cable. The cables should NOT be going through the rectangular hole in the lever arm even though it looks like it is made for that. It will bind and make the servo stick and burn it out.
Jump ahead to the Lever servo section of the tutorial for more information:

Is it plugged in correctly (meaning not backwards)? When the power is off can you move the servo by hand?
servo will not move by hand
Use Contact Us and submit a warranty claim....
Not all servos will move by hand. Servos are NOT designed to be moved by hand. This is only a warranty claim if the servo cannot be moved by the EZ-B v4 robot controller.
@jj68 Good point... does the servo move when requested by the ezb?
