Hello...
... I had the mistake for a long time and was looking for it:
Many of my servos moved uncontrollably when connecting! (different lengths, different random movements)
At some point I noticed that the error occurs with all servos that are connected as "relative servo"!
If I delete the relative servos and control them individually (horizontal servo, for example), the error no longer occurs!
I also started a new project for testing, the error also occurs there.
Anyone have an idea? Since I have a lot of movements for my robot where the motors have to move in opposite directions, I now have a problem.
I can program and then call each position individually but that would be a lot of extra work ...

I’ll take a peak at the relative servo.
Did you know that every servo control can specify more than one servo? Including reversing servos. Take a look here and see if that helps in the meantime: https://synthiam.com/Docs/Programming/Servo-Controls
Yes, thanks, I know that every servo control has a multi servo function, but unfortunately I cannot call it from a script and I need that.
If there is no long-term solution, I can write a small script for every position that contains the servo positions, and then call the small script from the main script.
But that would mean a lot of work with 10 servos and would be very confusing.
All other singel Servos works fine (no randrom movements on connect)
I'll take a look at it - stay tuned
No Problem... I upload a Video how it looks when i connect:

maybe it helps. Maybe the mistake is mine, but I just don't know where.
ok i was able to isolate the error. I deleted all servos from my project and wrote a small script. This should simulate a relative servo.
The script works. If I connect without the script working there is no error.
When I start the script and connect all the motors go crazy like in the video.
Although I deleted all servo controls from the project as I said.
This is the script:
:start
############# Flabs Hoch Runter v1 ########################### $SERVO_V1 = GetServo(V1) Servo( D8, $SERVO_V1 ) Servo( D10, $SERVO_V1 )
############# augen rechts links v5 ########################### $SERVO_V5 = GetServo(V5) Servo( D4, $SERVO_V5 ) Servo( D14, $SERVO_V5 )
goto (start)
The error seems to occur as soon as I use viritual ports.
I was hoping to work around the error if I didn't add a "Relative Servo" but wrote my own script that do the same... Now I am at a loss...

I made some fixes to the relative servo
Much better! Now the problem only occurs when I use a relative servo move from a script. And only the first time. After that I can also end the connection and reconnect, the error does not occur. Only when I disconnect and reconnect the EZ-B from the power and then control a relative servo with a script - then the error occurs again.
I always start and end the connection with all servos in the same position. If I only control the relative servos by hand everything works.
As I said, only the first time a script is started after the EZ-B has no power, the error occurs once.
wouldn't be that bad either, but I could break components if the servos don't move synchronously.
I can’t seem to reproduce the situation you’re experiencing. Can you create a basic project and post it in your response?
