#3

well im making a tank with my thec team in our free time,
we added a servo t make the head of the tank turn but… i cant manage to connect the servo to any part of the code
here’s what I’m using


I’m not sure how I’m suppose to use the servo


#4

I’m not sure about how to help much from here… I’ll do some research for you when I have time in about on week. In the meantime, @CommandeR might be able to help you.

Sorry… and good luck!
@Yu-Hayate

alright, thx mate


#6

@CommandeR do you know how i could solve this problem?


#7

It’s usual to use ports 1 & 2 for the encoders. Try that first.

I am assuming that you are using the little 9g servo attached to a RJ25 Adapter module as shown below?


#8

I’m using the Ultimate 2.0
this $600CAD+ machine
but yeah we are using the RJ25 Adapter module, the main thing I’m confuse about is that on the motherboard it says port 5-8 instead of port 1-4

@makeblock where does this forum template come from??
i see it in a lot of forums that look like this, like the makecode arcade forum?

(i just felt like i needed to ask this)


#10

They use Discourse (www.discourse.org)


#11

i see, so that’s why they are so similar lol


#12

By referring to ports 1 & 2, I meant the ones on the MegaPi board where the encoder motor driver boards are mounted, not the RJ25 ports (which are then labelled 5 to 8). My mBot illustration was there just to show the 9g servo.


#13

Bleckly is correct. Also, mentioning makeblock is kinda useless because they never respond anymore. :frowning:
Just so you know… :slight_smile:


#14

ho ok lol


#15

@Yu-Hayate Do you need more help? Don’t hesitate to ask!
If not, I can mark this topic as solved. :slight_smile:


#16

yes i still need help


#17

the servo still does not move
i feal like im using the wrong block to make it move but theres no other block that would make sence
any thing i can try to make it work?


#18

@Yu-Hayate Try adding the Maker’s Platform extension:
