Will, did you forget to connect an hbridge to the servo pcb?

Yeah, I had an Hbridge connected. It was the TRex motor controller. This was quite awhile ago when I set it up. I tried with three pcbs and pots from a couple of ez robot servos.

The hbridge will require logic input on the direction pins. So the servo therefore can only be powered by logic voltage (3 or 5v what ever the hbridge input logic is)

...yeah it was 5V logic from H bridge. So pretty sure no blue smoke from that, unless the EZ robot servo pcb logic is less than 5 volts?! But maybe I messed up the wiring. I'll have to review it again soon. That is why I was asking to add it to hack night. I was piggy backing off Daves sabertooth thread...just wanted to post here to keep everything where it should be:).
