Defective Servo

Post by WooWoo »

I purchased a servo for my classroom which was defective on arrival. I tested it with the sweep example code but the servo moved at random time intervals or sometimes not at all. I hooked up a different servo to see if I had done something wrong but the other servo worked perfectly. The defective servo also got pretty hot. I would like to get a new one that works. I have video of three tests but they exceed the file size allowed for this post. Thanks.
