does my circuit board work?

[dellagd]

is there a simple code I can put into my ATmega8 to see is my $50 board is working?


PLZ HELP THE SCIENCE FAIR IS ON APRIL 1ST!!!!!!!!!

why can you not just upload the $50 robot code?

[dellagd]

since I am having trouble modifing the servos, i am using the zero servos code, but I can't tell if its working.

[paulstreats]

if the led comes on after you program it with the $50 code then it should be working.

[dellagd]

all that happens w/ the zero_servo code is the servo twitches and the led blinks for the samw amount of time.

[paulstreats]

try loading the full $50 code on and see what happens

So, I assume the zero_servo code, should center the servos? So if the servo centers itself then its working?

If you turn the servo away from the center point while the power is off, does it recenter when you power on?  If so it sounds like it is working.

If its for continuous rotation servos, change the code from a center position to a non center position and see if the servos spin.

all that happens w/ the zero_servo code is the servo twitches and the led blinks for the same amount of time.

w/ the code the servo will twich about 15 degrees and if I run it again, it will rotate another 15 until about 5 times later it doesn't twitch at all and stays in the same spot. I am not sure if this is what it is suppose to do so I don't know if the circut board is working!!!!
