I suppose that maybe your NiCd cells are just nearing the end of their useful life. Either that, or you have a wiring problem somewhere in the power circuit. Also, it's generally not a good idea to mix different types of cells (different capacities) (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Its sound like your motor is drawing excessive current, thus resetting your Handy Board. You might want to beef up to a higher capacity battery or you can try running your servos off an external power source. Good Luck. (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

It sounds like you might have a mechanical, rather than electrical, problem. Servos typically have some sort of stop nub on the gears so that they can't rotate past a certain point. If you don't cut off the nub with a hobby knife or saw, the motor (...) (25 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
