Some time ago I tried the use of the HB to control a RC Servo using the single
servo control software that was available in the HB web page. At that time I
made it work and everything seemed to work fine.
Yesterday I tried to do it again. Unfortunately I could not remember what the
different cables of the servo were for so I just tried different combinations
(my servo has one red cable which I know id for power, and two black ones). None
of them seemed to work (and I've tried all of them). Now I'm concerned that I
may have damaged the HB. Everything I've tried seems to work fine but the servo
control.
Is there something I may be missing related to the use of the software (I
remember I had trouble making it work the first time) Could I have damaged port
output 7 of the HB by connecting the servo the wrong way or short circuiting the
cables ??
Any test I could do (I don't have a scope) ?
thanks
Oriol
