Servo.py only runs once & constant clicking

[simonedgley]

Hi,

When I run the Servo.py script it appears to work as it should.
However, a clicking sound starts as well.

When I end the script and run it again, it appears from the text on the screen to work, however, none of the servos move.

I have checked to see if any processes had been left running using:

ps -ef | Servo

and nothing is returned.

If I use VNC to reboot, it does, however, the clicking continues - gut is telling me thats a servo sound.

I can then use Servo.py again.

However, it appears not to be moving all legs. Plus, some servos are as one would expect, impossible to move. Others can be moved.

And when I end the programme, not all of the servos are released as I cannot move them.
If I try running Servo.py again, the screen shows it appears to work, however, nothing is moved.

The clicking sound may indicate a servo stall.
Please disassemble the servos, keep the cables connected, and then rerun the script to see if the issue persists, and send a video to support email at support@freeenove.com

In addition, please send photos or a purchase link of your batteries. We need to check the specs.

I have found a work around.
If, after running Servo.py, one runs:

sudo python Test.py Servo

It moves all the servos like it should.
One can then run:

sudo python Servo.py
