So I’m new to using these controllers and really robotics as a whole. It was recommended to me to start with the mini-maestro and sub-micro servos sold here. However, I try connecting using the default settings on the controller and am unable to control any servos I attach to the control board. My servo’s are attached properly with the yellow (signal) on the inner most pin on #0. I have it detected to detect the baud rate but the yellow LED never changes flash consistency. When I select fixed baud rate (9600 by default) the yellow LED flashes that it’s ready to send signals to the servo, but when I move the slider on #0 nothing happens. I have tried another maestro board as well as 3 different servos with no luck.
If anymore information is required to help me out with this issue, let me know and I’ll reply promptly.
Hi ,
Understand your trouble ,i had same problem ,and 'll try help you .
In first, if i understand good ,you have 3 type of servo controller with one micro maestro.
1- if yes try test with it in first .
2-did you want control it in serial configuration alone or usb connected ?
3-If you use in serial configuration ,what type of usb to serial interface using (if no serial port )
4-Do you use a self or commercial devellopement card ,mean embeded power (servo and card power ) with reseting command ?
If you any realized these point with micro maestro, we’ll go directly to mini maestro 24.
I had brought a team who helped me here ,why don’t do with you same …
Hi, apjasko.
I am sorry you are having trouble with your Mini Maestro. Could you tell me how you are powering your servos?

I have one type of controller, the Mini Meastro 24 Channel.
- I’ll have to look into this tomorrow and promptly post my findings.
- It is USB connected.
- See above.
- I’m not sure I understand this question, but it is only USB powered at the moment. The program I’m currently using is the supplied software and it has a reset function.

The servos are connected with the 3-pin connector to the Mini Maestro and the Mini Maestro plugged in via USB A to Mini B cable to my laptop (Win 7 Pro 64-Bit).
The USB connection to the Mini Maestro will not supply power to your servos. You will need a separate power supply for your servos. More information about this can be found in the “Powering the Maestro” section of the Maestro user’s guide.
