What Servo Sizes Are Supported?

Hey DJ. I just have a quick question. I know that regular standard servos are compatible with the EZB, but is there a chance that micro servos would work as well? I tried doing a simple servo code, but the microservo I used did not work and the EZB forced itself into shutdown, but it still works fine once I reboot. And I have tried this with other microservos, so it is not a bad electronic component. So, are microservos compatible with the EZB?

I feel your microservo is damaged and it is shorting the EZ-B. All standard hobby servos (including micro or any size) use the same form of communication. It's one directional (from ez-b to servo), so there is no reason for it to disconnect unless it is a power consumption issue.

Please refrain from asking technical questions on third party websites, such as YouTube or Facebook. Only post your question (with an applicable title, not "For DJ"), and be patient while someone has time to answer your question.

I solved it: I just needed to position the servo to its beginning state, and then it worked beautifully. And I'm sorry for the lack for patience, I do agree that it was a faulty title to begin with. Thanks.
