Hello everyone,
I have the following problem: I have a Micro Maestro 6 Channel. A button is connected to Channel 0, and 3 servos are connected to Channels 3-5. I have a 100K resistor at the +5V pin and the Button and a bridge between VIN and PRW1.
When I connect the board to the PC via USB and provide battery power to BAT with 4x 1.5V, the script works perfectly.
However, when I unplug the USB cable and run the power supply only through BAT, the board starts to blink red. I have alternatively connected a power bank with 5V output, and then everything runs without problems. With 3x 1.5V batteries, nothing happens; the servos don’t run, and 4x 1.5V seems to overwhelm the board. Is it correct that I can only operate the board with 5V?
Thanks and best regards,
Chris
