2. What describes your problem?
Please find within the following table which describes your problem. Once selected, mark down the troubleshooting points to follow.
3. Problem specific troubleshooting
3.1 Can I use the automatic script to control servo motors?
Yes you can control the servo output from the automatic script. See here:
https://api.rcbenchmark.com/rcbgui/v11/rcb.output.html#.set
Here is for example how you normally control the esc:
- rcb.output.set("esc", 1500);
To control servo 2, you can do:
- rcb.output.set("servo2", 1200);
If you want you can even set them at the same time like this:
- rcb.output.set( ["esc", "servo2"] , [1500, 1200]);
3.2 My servo motor does not move at all when I try to control it.
The PWM output from the Servo ports have the following specifications:
- 50 Hz output frequency
- 5 V output
Under certain circumstances, the Servo motor that you use may require an operational voltage higher than 5 V. In this case, you will need to provide power from an outside source in order to properly drive your servo motor.
