Servo only traveling 1/2 of range

Support Servo controllers and servos
1

Hello,

I am using a brand new maestro 24. I have one linear servo that I have configured with correct min, max, and checked it with the slider. When I made a sequence it only travels 1/2 the range (say only left from center), even though I have defined frames that have the full range of travel (all the way from left to right). I have tried everything! I love the maestros and have been using them for many years.

Why would the full travel be accessible with the slider but not in the sequence?

I have saved frames properly and kept the naming convention in the sequence.

Thanks

Update:
-I powered everything down and swapped the new maestro 24 with a maestro 24 from a few years ago. I loaded the settings file into the old one. Same behavior

-I switched back to the brand new one. I carefully deleted every frame in the sequence. I then created new frames. I hit “play sequence” and it worked perfectly, I saw full travel.

-Even after the successful “play sequence” in the “sequence” tab the script won’t give full travel

Fixed the issue. Was in the script. thanks to Grok AI for quick troubleshooting! It nailed the problem.

Hello.

I am glad to hear that you were able to fix the problem! Thank you for letting us know.

So far in my experience AI struggles with the Maestro programming language and seems to try to use syntax or commands from various other languages (although I haven’t tried Grok specifically).
