CMU cam and 7.5 Kgxcm servos don''t work with HomeWork Boards

Archiver

Thanks Jon,

But, I tried with BS2-IC modules (without capacitors)
and the CMU CAM and the 7.5 Kgxcm servos work fine.

I tried with a second Homework board and
I have the same problems.

Do you think that the Homework board works with
some accesories only?
Perhaps Homework boards have an other modification
(not the 220 ohm resistors only)

Any idea is welcome.
Thanks: Joe
