However, shouldn't the servo motor run(or pulse) continuously when hooked directly to a battery? They do not, they run sporadically.
I putting power to the red/black wires coming out of the servo.
I am using HS-311's I didn't have a microcontroller to center them, I did what I thought was good by hand.
I unplugged the battery and one servo exhibited the behavior described.
does the battery need to be unplugged when removing the programming dongle?
Plug in your AVR STK Serial Port Dongle Programmer to both your computer and your robot if it isn't already from Step 3C. AFTER plugging your robot in, turn on the microcontroller by flipping the ON/OFF switch, or plugging in the battery if it doesn't have one. If you were to unplug the programmer, make sure you turn off your robot first.
