G'day oh 43oh wise ones.
Could someone who owns an RC servo please verify this?
When I load the code from Examples/Servo/Sweep into my Launchpad v1.5 (with a 2553), the servo jitters with a very regular (~1 second) timing.
// Sweep// by BARRAGAN <http://barraganstudio.com>// This example code is in the public domain.#include <Servo.h>Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo// a maximum of eight servo objects can be createdint pos = 0; // variable to store the servo positionvoid setup(){myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object}void loop(){myservo.write(90); //Set 90 degrees}/*void loop(){for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 20) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees{ // in steps of 1 degreemyservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'delay(2000); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position}for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=20) // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees{myservo.write(pos); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'delay(2000); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position}}*/
Notice I kept the example simple by just requesting one angle. The commented out code is a slightly modified version of the Example Servo Sweep code that further demonstrates the issue.
Just for reference, Win 7, Energia 0010 or 0011. Turnigy 1258 servo.
Also downloaded Energia 0011 on another PC and compiled from there.
When the same Example code (ie Servo/Sweep) is loaded into an Arduino Mega, there is no jitter whatsoever. The servo moves to the requested position and shuts up.
Any ideas (and thanks in advance!)?
