Servo whine noise

I am using a BOE with a BS2 and a servo controller. When I send a SEROUT command to either servo I get a high pitch whine from the servo. I have plenty of power and it started when I added a PING to the standard FUTABA pin 12 on the BOE.

Am I missing a conflict issue here? The Servo control is channel 15 on the BOE. So commands sent to 12 and 13 on the BOE should not conflict.

    Ah...I found the problem. I had to link my pingservo in the Servo controller. Since the jumper was changed on the BOE, normal servo control directly from the BOE was not working. Moved it to the servo controller and change my code to use SEROUT commands fixed the issue.
