Morning All
Today I upgraded to the latest software but now all my servos have stopped working. I rebooted both EZ and my laptop and rebuilt my servo controls but I get no response from any of my boards.
Has anyone encountered something similar?
Thanks,
D. Scott
Hope this solves the issue
The servo connection was never broken (the same as when it was working last night). I think I'm going to delete the application and re-install.
Thanks for catching the anchor strap Nomad *eek*

My heavy duty servo still isn't working. I've tried turning the connector as well as different ports but nada. Could be I've damaged this one as well (3 and counting).

can you use these,they come from chop here.
extention cable
If you had it plugged in backwards, very likely the servo circuit board is fried. Most do not have diodes to protect from reverse polarity.

i did one time same fault and indeed the servo was fried.
good thing they dont cost much.better a servo then a ezbv4.
Alan I have a growing pile of dead servos I plan on using for an art project :-)

But yeah, I have seen my share of expensive blue magic smoke in this hobby....

and warenty just incase.
my first bioloid i burn 10 servo's in one download,so your not alone.
but it was also the fault off the seller,he was not annest man,
and i say this whithout saying what he really was.
i always say,the more you break the more you learn.
If the servo doesn't work, it's been used and abused. Which is quite common for custom built robots. We're always trying to lift too much weight

great find.
