Hello everyone. I am not sure which category to ask this question so I will start in the General discussion.
I have a Hi-tec HS-322HD servo that I am trying to drive with a picaxe microcontroller. I have no problem generating a 20ms period pwm with pulse width varying between 1100 us to 1900 us as confirmed with my DSO. The servo specs indicate the neutral position to be at 1500 us. When I hook up the servo to the chip, the servo simply rotates completely counterclockwise to its stop and remains there. It doesn't matter what pulse width I use, it is always the same. I have two of these servos and have tried them both with the same results.
I am hoping that someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. This my first attempt at using a servo.
Regards
Ray
