Trying to get my HXT900 to work on my test board but it just screams. I'm using a PICAXE 08M pins 0,1,2. there is a jumper that i set to downlaod and then to use as low for servo. orange cable to pin 0, red cable to pin1 and brown cable to pin2 The following is my code. Anyone out there ever came across this . Note I had it working once on my 18M
If I am reading this right, you have the servo’s ground wire to output 0, power to output 1 and signal to output 2. In this configuration, you are trying to power the servo via output pins. This is not good.
Your servo will draw FAR more current than those output pins can deliver and a couple things can happen (or not happen). First, your servo is just not going to have enough juice to move. Second, the picaxe (in whole or in part) is going to become fried. As a matter of fact, I would not be surprised if it is currently fried (at least output 0 and 1).
Disconnect this now! Use your outputs for “data level” signals only and don’t try to run motors off of them!
