How to use 9g micro servo motors with actuator training board

Hi, I'm making a small robot arm for my project as part of my HNC course in
engineering. I have used flowcode 7 and the pic16f1937 microcontroller
before in my previous studies but have never used the servo motor
capability. I have purchased some 9g micro servo motors which will be
connected to the actuator training panel as this provides me with the
ability to use multiple servers I think. I have produced a program in
flowcode 7 and this works for the simulation but I cannot workout how to
control the micro servos using the potentiometer on the main board. Is
there any advice you could provide please?

Hi j.zielinski1999,
Welcome to the Matrix forums.
It's always helpful if you can post the flowchart you have developed so far.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Yes I can do that. Do you want me to upload it as a flowcode file or just a screenshot of the flowchart?

It's always best to post the actual flowchart than an image of it.

I have attempted to upload the file twice but it doesn't seem to have worked. What should I do?

There appears to be an issue with the server last night.
I have approved one of the posts with file attached, so now not an issue for you.

I Have modified your Flowchart by allowing Initialise to only be called once at the start.
I have also changed the input so you can use the rest of port B for other purposes.

Hi, thanks for that. I will try and test that today if possible.
