Hi,
I have a strange experience with my picaxe (18X) and different servo’s.
I use this simple test program
main:
servo 1,75
pause 2000
servo 1,150
pause 2000
servo 1,225
pause 2000
servo 1,150
pause 2000
goto main
I have a very very very cheap micro servo and this one does the job he’s suppose to do: go left, go center, go right, go center, …
Another cheap servo starts humming on the right, doesn’t go to the center and certainly not totally to the left. To force the servo to make the movements he should do the program must be modified like this:
servo 1,55
servo 1,180
servo 1,115
A third and digital servo only takes two positions with the original program.
The digital servo (Futaba S3152) only accepts numbers between 67 and 194. Any number above or below this range blocks the servo completely. I lose a ¼ of my servo range with these numbers.
Is there someone who has the same experience? And if so how can I solve this? Or should I keep programming the picaxe out of the pre-determined ranges?
