Title: Roboduino
Post by: offy on February 17, 2009, 06:19:26 PM
I have just received my roboduino and tried to add a simple servo code to see if it would work. When I try to use the Arduino program on Ubuntu 8.10 I get an error saying "Error building library Stepper" I don't understand what that means.

Servo and stepper are 2 different motors! You can't use Stepper library with a servo motor and vice versa. You need to download the SoftwareServo library and install it in Arduino-0011\hardware\libraries.

Where do I download that? I can't find it on the site.

Look in the ARduino folder in the sample code for Hardware, you'll find something about a servo.
