Hi, I’m using the 18 channel maestro with MG995 servos. I have external power for the servos at 6.8 volts. A lipo pack running through a voltage regulator to drop is to the 6.8 volts.
When I power the Maestro logic with USB from my computer, everything works fine. When I detach the USB and use the jumper on the board to power the logic, my servos won’t run, but will rather, struggle to move. As if the board is not sending a strong enough signal. The script is set to run on startup. So everything should work fine with the jumper.
I thought it was a defect in my board, and had it replaced, but the problem still exists.
Is there a difference in USB power? Is it higher voltage that 6.8? I don’t think it’s an AMP problem, since my LIPO dumps a lot of amps.
