SERVO MOTOR
PostPosted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 7:40 am     Reply with quote
Hello I'm using a servo motor futaba S3003. I'm using this code:
Code:

#include "18f4550.h"
#fuses HS,NOWDT
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
#define servo PIN_B1

void main(){

   while(true)
   {
   OUTPUT_HIGH(servo);
   delay_us(1500);
   OUTPUT_LOW(servo);
   delay_us(18500);
      
   }
}

Whatever values I put on the delay, the servo rotates to same side, I cannot rotate to the other side, or center. Can you tell me why, or what I'm doing wong?

You need to learn how to use the forum search:

Searching on the word servo found this:

I don't know if you have any external pullup resistors on your device to make the pins go high.
You may need the line
Code:
port_b_pullups(TRUE);

before your while loop.

I would also suggest you get a meter to double check that the output pin is/is not toggling as you expect, so you can identify if it is a SW or HW issue

You don't really need pull-ups. Do you get a pulse on B1? Can you check this with an oscilloscope? If not, in your clock/fuse definition:
Code:
#fuses HS,NOWDT
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
Use XT instead of HS.

We already used an oscilloscope, and it is 50 Hz wave and the duty cycle is correct. I already use fuse XT and HS... the result is the same....

I already seen that link, but problem remains, is that the servo rotate to one side whatever value I put in the duty cycle. I cannot find the problem and I already buy a new servo motor. I'm using pic 18f4550.
