Problem with BOE-BOT servomotors

Dear all,

I have a problem with the servomotors of my Boe Bot.

I explain my issue;

I tryied to test my servomotors with this command:

PULSOUT 13, 650
PULSOUT 12, 850
PAUSE 20

when I test one servomotor with this command "PULSOUT 13, 650 or 850" it works! but when I try both servomotors together, one of them turns only in one way even if I change the pulses (650 clockwise, 850 counterclockwise)

I hope you can help me

    If your servos don't stop 100% using a constant stream of PULSOUT 750/PAUSE 20's, then they are not centered. There is a trimpot adjustment screw on each servo which allows you to manually adjust that.

    Also, make sure all of your batteries are brand new. Used batteries could cause a Stamp reset when both servos start up at full speed.
