Hi,

after the servo moves, sometimes, i get a constant buzz from the servo, like the motor is still trying to lock and stay in 1 place. the servo already moved to the desire position. But to get rid of the buzz sound, i press "Release" button on the ARC Seervo control box. This stops the buzzing sound from the servo.

Is there a scripting command that is equivalent to "release" servo?

It's a good question, I'd like to know if that option exists, I have the same noise in the servos, and a script command to the robot would make more noise at the end of a sequence of movements, also reduce the consumption (less milliamps) servo. :D

Does setting the servo to position 0 do it?

DJ, We can't find out because you give us the option from 1 to 36 only. Try to put a 0 in and it comes back wiith "must be between 1 and 36. A release command is really needed.
