Yes you definitely need to power the servo from a separate source of 5V. The servo pulse can be connected directly from the arduino pwm pin as long as the grounds of all the components are connected to the same place.

I would like to see your video with example.
I made this, but the motor stop automatically...
maybe it has a problem of usb voltage... 5v can aliment arduino + motor 5v?
abraços do terceiro mundo,

Ricardo: i just use the pduino or comport object, but you need configure the portb (usb).... remember the wires, ground,5v and pwm..., black wire to gnd, red to 5v and orange to pwm... the pwm socket are 11,10,9,6,53, if you have any problem i can upload a tiny video with example... Greetings from Chile José 2010/2/22 Ricardo Brazileiro <rbrazileiro@gmail.com <mailto:rbrazileiro@gmail.com>> olá josé, do you have any patch example using servo motor 5v in arduino + firmata? I was test the standart firmata and the motor start when I set pin 10 to servo and change the value but the servo motor stop after 3, 4 seconds... I don't know why this happen... abraços, r.

OS? gREETINGS FROM cHILE José 2010/2/20 Ricardo Brazileiro <rbrazileiro@gmail.com <mailto:rbrazileiro@gmail.com>> olá, I was testing my servo motor using pduino 0.5 ServoFirmata with arduino-test.pd and when I change the value to pin 10 the pure-data crash. I'm using the most recent release of pd-extended and ubuntu 9.04 How to use ServoFirmata and arduino object? cheers -- ricardo brazileiro http://rbrazileiro.info <http://rbrazileiro.info/> _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at <mailto:Pd-list@iem.at> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- http://www.chilemigra.cl http://arselectronicachile.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/santorcuato -- ricardo brazileiro http://rbrazileiro.info -- http://www.chilemigra.cl http://arselectronicachile.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/santorcuato
