hey im not sure if the tetrix servos are really third party sensors but i figured this fit the post the best.

so here is my code


so when i press the buttons servo 1 just jumps to either the farthest or the closest it can the code is supposed to make servo1 move slowly until the button is released. It used to work but ever since my team messed with the robot it hasn't worked. I haven't changed the code at all and I made sure the servo and everything else was plugged into the port it was plugged into before. another thing to note is that it worked when i was at 2.25 then i updated the software and firmware on the nxt to 2.26 while my team was messing with the robot. could that be it?

As long as the servo is responding to your input, it is likely wired correctly even if it does not act as you expect.

Looking at your code, it seems possible that that servo target is being set and incremented rapidly as the program loops. Have you noticed the servo moving further depending on how quickly you release the button on the joystick? It only takes a second for the code to loop many, many times. If this is the case, you may need to add some sort of wait/timer when manually incrementing/decrementing.

Lastly, your code has no limits set to prevent the servo from rotating its full degree of movement. This may be what you want, but generally you want a servo to only move between two specific points that are within the full range. Below is some sample code similar to yours but with an added range check for safety. You just change the value of the two constants to set the correct limits.

Thanks for the code but it didnt work. I did, however, find the problem. My team switched the normal servos with continuous rotation servos, which need to be addressed differently in the #pragma

#EDIT

I do have a new problem now though. the problem I described above seems to be affecting ALL 360 degree servos, no matter if I set them as standard servos or continuous rotation. Are these continuous servos supposed to keep going and never stop?

Continuous rotation servos have their potentiometer disabled and therefore have no positional feedback and act more like motors than servos. You can't tell them to go to a specific location anymore, just to go a certain direction/speed.

Depending on your need/intent, you may want to put the 180 degree normal servos back in?
