Hey there-

Just curious if any has experianced servo problems with the data or power connections? We have brand new servo motors installed for the characters eye and eye lid movements, however they either function very minimally or not at all.

All of our character boards are reading the servo signals and we are getting power at the servo connections points, however the motors will not function.

They are the same brand/model motors as were installed previously and were tested prior to being put into the character.

Has anyone experianced any problems with the servos like this before?

Do they have the proper polarity? Do you have your DC Servo wired backwards?

If all of them are out on all characters it sounds like the computer. I'm sure there is a particular power supply that does nothing more than power servos. Check that.
