I am trying to control some servos (futaba3004) using my Arduino 2650. I can plug a single servo into the Arduino power and ground circuts and using an example sweep program I get everythng to work as it should. However when I switch the servo power over to a wall wart power supply and I run my arduino sketch the servo goes to one extreme of travel motion and stalls there.
I have tried different power supplies (2)
Tested output voltage on both supplies and they are within the expected range. (1) 5.18Vdc (2) 6.181Vdc
Tried 4 different servos
I have tied the Servo ground the Adrino ground and the power supply ground together on my breadboard but alas same problem.
Is there an issue using a wall wart to power the servos like ripple or noise?
I am stumpped here, can anyone lend some light?
