I am trying to get the servos to turn on the ez-b robot. I have connected the bluetooth, plugged in the servos connected to pins D12, and D13. I went to the configure menu and assigned them accordingly. I am still unable to get the servos to turn. If use connection 0 to connect with com3 and i attempt to turn the servos the bluetooth disconnects.
Have you got them plugged in around the right way? Are the batteries fresh or fully charged?
Yes, The ground wire's are all in-board, and it is connected to a power source.
OK. Have you tried them one at a time? i.e. only have 1 servo connected to the board, test it works or kills the bluetooth, then try the other on it's own. What happens if you disconnect the servos and use the servo controls in ARC? Does it disconnect then?
If i disconnect the servo's and attempt to run them after connecting to the bluetooth it will stay connected. As soon as I connect either servo and attempt to run them it disconnects.
Do you have any other servos you can test on it? Or other accessories like the ultrasonic detector?
It sounds like the board is browning out. It could be caused by faulty servos (although both faulty would be an unlucky coincidence) or the power supply isn't man enough for the job.
What power supply are you using?
Thank you for the assistance. I had not checked the amp's being put out by the power supply. Your advice really helped me figure this out.
