Stopping An Action

Hi, This is a basic scripting question. I figured out how to do QR code tracking. Its pretty straight forward. I entered a word into the QR code generator and then created a script to speak the word in the Camera config.

question

Defective Servo?

Hi, I have Six and it was working perfectly until just recently. One of the servos doesnt seem to be getting a signal or isnt responding. It was on port D1 so I swapped it for the servo on port D4. No luck. I opened it up to see if there was an obvious issue. All of the wires are soldered to the board. Any suggestions?
