I have a servo connected to my picaxe.
I am using readadc10 to check the value of a thermistor.
I have 2 of these boxes separately, but with the same power supplies.
The power for the servo is a different plugpack than the picaxe.
When the servo moves, the values on the ADC change.
This happens to both picaxes even if the servo being moved is not conencted to that picaxe.
I have the usual capacitors on the 7805 and picaxe.
The servos are quite large. There are no capacitors on the servos.
It is possible that the plugpack driving the servos is not really big enough for them.
Also, my AXE033 LCD dims when the servo moves.
Suggestions? Or is it as simple as giving the servo more power. If so, why would this affect the picaxe??
