Quadropod, 3servos(same leg) loses power after movement

Not sure how to explain this in english, but will try my best and hopefully someone will be able to help me!

I’ve built an quadropod using an arduino and a ssc 32, when I send command so that all 12(+1 for head) servos should be active, my first leg, after reaching it’s position turns of, you can move it easily with your hand, while all the others are still getting power and stays where they should be. This ofcourse makes my robot fall after puting the specific leg down.
The code beeing sent to the ssc for my main position is:

#15 P1500
#16 P1250 T100 #17 P1797 T100 #18 P1800 T100
#16 P1250 T100 #17 P1500 T100 #18 P1700 T100
Here the serovs on pins 16, 17, 18 stops to gain power or something
#24 P1750 T100 #25 P1847 T100 #26 P1750 T100
#24 P1750 T100 #25 P1550 T100 #26 P1750 T100
#8 P1249 T100 #9 P1202 T100 #10 P860 T100
#8 P1249 T100 #9 P1500 T100 #10 P1074 T100
#0 P1749 T100 #1 P1132 T100 #2 P950 T100
#0 P1749 T100 #1 P1430 T100 #2 P950 T100

the rest of the servos are getting power so it stands on only 3 legs.

I’ve tried different battaries that I know is good enough to support the legs, but same problem with all of them.

Again sorry for my english and hope I made some sense!

What might those batterys be? Are they of similar capacity of the ones sold for use with the commercial quadropods and kits?

Try connecting the faulty leg to pin 27, 28 and 29. Just in case there is an error on pin 16 to 23.

That was the problem!
Thanks alot, now it’s up and walking agian:D

That’s good to hear. You should get the faulty board replaced if you need to control more than 24 servos.
