Servos

Tebos

I am trying to test some servos with the code in some of the manuals.· They are the continuouse rotation servos running off a supper carrier board and a BS2.

CODE:

·' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
DEBUG "Program Running!"
counter VAR Word
FOR counter = 1 TO 122 ' Clockwise just under 3 seconds.
PULSOUT 15, 850
PAUSE 20
NEXT
FOR counter = 1 TO·40 ' Stop one second.
PULSOUT 15, 750
PAUSE 20
NEXT
FOR counter = 1 TO 122 ' Counterclockwise three seconds.
PULSOUT 15, 650
PAUSE 20
NEXT
END


The problem is that the servo never stops it just does a stutter after 3 secs and continous to rotate in the same direction.· It never goes counterclockwise.· Is this a code issue or a power issue?· I hooked it up to the carrier board·+5 and it still does not do what i want.· does it need the 6v max to function properly?·

Usually that means that something has happened to the power source and the Stamp has reset. You should be seeing your DEBUG message appearing over and over again with each stutter.
