Hello friends, I have troubles with micro digital servo. I have connected several other standard rotary servos and all is working good. But I bought Linear micro servo. When is conected to the servo tester it is OK. But when is connected to Arduino Mega and I run the TEST. It is jumping or not moving. When is replacet with rotary clasic servo, than is OK. The setting is the same. What is wrong? It is connected to the Dig 6 port. I have check tho other ports. But still the same problam.

I don´t know the reason.... Cause i just use the satandard blue cheap servos from Ebay.

Solution is simple.... You know a kind of servos that where work and you confirm they do. So simply use them.
As we say in the past.... We not plan to support different hardware. If multiple servos work, then its fine and a benefit.... But we will not impelement new code or rework existing systems to support new kind of servos, LCD, Displays or so..... Each Typ of Hardware got a minimum of 1 kind of Part that work 100%.... so all is fine!

Apology for that. Maybe you get a solution or a workflow from Sebastian or a other user ( link your Motor datasheet please) ..... But please not expect a Hotfix from Mobiflight here !
Good Luck !

Ok that is fine, I will try another linear actuators and I will see. Do you know some exact linear servos I can use?
