I'm trying to control a servo (TowerPro sg90) using the Servo class posted elsewhere in the forum. My servo does move to the desired position, but then it immediately moves back to its original position and loops over and over again. It's like watching someone dial a loop of zeros on a rotary phone.

Any ideas what's going on here? My code is as follows:

Servo vent = new Servo(SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus.Pins.GPIO_PIN_D9);
vent.SetDegree(90);
Thread.Sleep(5000);

Hi, I don't know the class you are using, but it sounds like you are only sening a single pulse to the servo. After the pulse finishes, if the servo does not get another it may return to rest. Have you got a loop to stop your main() from exiting? If not, the program may be exiting and disposing of the PWM pin... Paul

Hello,

Did you solve the proble? Can you share with us the result? I would like to know how this servo Works with Netduino 3,3 V since the servo is rated to work with at least 3,5V.

In my case, the servo is not moving smooth and make sudently quick movements.

Thank you,


Igor.
