Afternoon All
I'm stumped.
I'm trying to make a connection with a non-EZ GWS servo but am having no luck. I've tested the EZ with standard servos that came with the kit and they function fine. This GWS is rated at 4.5 volts to 6 volts and I've tested it at these and even lower. The port is correct, the board is properly selected, I restarted the EZ, insured I have the latest version but still get no movement or indication a signal is reaching the servo. It doesn't appear locked because I can turn the gears by hand. I'm hesitant to take it apart just yet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel
@Rich.
I thought that's what I said?
Unless your referring to the "within reason" comment. I said that because if using very very high amperage and someone enounterd a short circuit, it can cause a lot of damage. (Post has been edited to reflect this).
Yes thats the part I was referring to And thought Id expans on the explanation of current capacity and discharge rates.
Cool, no worries. I only said that because the more amps being used, the bigger the spark if there is a short circuit.
This is an excellent subject and conversation. I'm glad we can do it as adults without personality. This kind of information on a common understandable level is always needed.
@Dave.
It's like you said. It's like art, with many peoples interpretations that are interesting and differ, but ultimately point to an agreed understanding and resolution. The aim to help, inform and of course learn something on this community, and do it collectively without upsetting or belittling each other (like you say, do it like adults) is the reason I keep coming back and get involved in this forum. As well as looking at all the cool robots like yours of course
.
I've acquired a 6 volt NIMH battery I'm currently charging. If I can activate the servo with that I'll switch to my regular power supply (most likely the Genissi if I can figure out the connections).
Thanks for all the help,
Daniel
Tested the servo and it doesn't respond except to shut down the EZ board. Its toast as I suspected. So I'm two servos down.

Does your set up work with the ez robot servos? Before buying anymore servos confirm that your setup with the 6v Nimh works... Can you post a picture of your project... I for one would like to see how you are wiring things....
