Hi all,

I have an SG90 9G servo motor that I would like to use to control the Flaps gauge I am building, How ever I can not get it to work with the Arduino. I believe I have connected it correctly as I connect the voltage the servo moves slightly but when I go to test it, nothing happens. Am I using a good Servo for this or does the Ardunio not like it?

Any help would be great!

Regards

Scott

Hi Scott.

Need some more informations to help you....

You write Servo workes after getting 5v. So servo isn´t demaged i think.

Did you try the turtorial on this side ? Or did you try the Example File Configs shipped with your Mobiflight Download ??

For a basic test you should make a Config.....
Just create a output with a offset (unimportant what offset ... Use 66C0 for example)
Set as type youre servo
Then say Min Value 0 .... Max Value 255 .... Rotation 100% ....
Be shure the Connector NOT Run at the moment. ( Use Stop Button if it´s already runnig)
Push the Test Button below.
Normaly the Servo now should maka a full range turning.

Hope this helps..... Report if you need more support !

Good Luck !
