Servo help with Netduino - weird behavior, burned out board

13 June 2011 - 09:15 PM

Hi! I'm very much a newbie at Netduino (used to working with an Arduino) and could very much use some help on a project I'm working on. I hooked up a GWS S125 1T 2BB servo to my Netduino, and - using Chris Seto's assembly and code - was able to get the servo to turn. However, it never worked quite right - first, it dimmed the LEDs on the Netduino when the servo turned. Secondly, the servo seemed to turn to random positions - never consistent. Finally, after testing with this for awhile, my Netduino Plus died forever. The specs on the servo say that it requires 4.8v, so I'm not sure why it did this. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Do I need an interim circuit between the servo and the Netduino? I'd really like to figure out what the problem was before blowing another $70 board :) Thanks! -T
