So in my infinite genius, I managed to fry my little servo. It involved some re-wrining, large amounts of "how much harm could I do" stupidity on my part... and it's dead.
I'm looking for advice on a replacement. I ordered the cheapest little servo I could find (thinking it doesn't work too hard so it should be OK)... and I'm amazed at the difference. The replacement has trouble deciding on what position it should be in unless the wire between it and the Polarshield is quite short. It's going back.
I was really surprised that there was such a difference in the abilities of the controller boards in the servos. It it normal for them to be that sensitive to the length of their control wire (3-6' in my case), or is it just because I ordered the cheapest one I could find?
Thanks for any tips. Luckily I only killed the servo. I was wondering how long it would take me to do something like this.
