Torxis Servo Control

Hello, I have a Torxis Servo, It works ok however when I start it moves to a position that I haven’t commanded it to. I was wondering if this is a preset command and how would I change it.

Hello, Andrew.

Just to clarify, are you saying that just applying 12V to power the Torxis servo causes it to move to a home position? Are you sure there isn’t a signal being sent to the signal pin? Can you try removing the servo from your system and just applying power (without a signal connection at all)?

Hi Brandon thanks for the reply.

Nothing happens with just the power supplied.

I am running the servo through Simulink (Matlab) to an arduino.

It sounds like it has something to do with your program. Are you using the Arduino servo library? If you are, it will start sending a signal as soon as you call the attach() function. You can call the write() function before attach() to specify the pulse width it sends.
