hello everyone
I'm playing around with a servo on the HB. i loaded all the progs and got it
to twirl, but it won't do a full 180 degrees. i'm just using the servo()
command. i suppose servo(1400) is supposed to point it 0degress, but it
points about 30 degrees off center on my bot. a servo(5000) twirls it the
other way to 180, like it should.
the servo is a Futaba S148 that weas formerly used in a RC car. i tried it
on a radio to make sure it works, and it did.
any ideas?
