7 volts to the servos raises a flag for me, most standard servos can't tolerate more than 6v.

Okay, I will check that.  But JonnyMac did say that voltage was less important than amps and suggested a power supply in the range of 6 to 7V and 2amps.

So it's either my code getting tired or my bad suggestion for servo voltage?   :o

I know of some servos that run fine at 7.2 volts but I don't know what the long term implication is, nor what servos you're actually using (I hope you consulted the manufacturer data sheet [and in future I will not make recommendations that can be used against me or EFX-TEK]). The code base you have is identical to what is running in major amusement parks and neither has ever commented on things misbehaving after running several hours.

Wow, Okay so I never said anything about the code being tired I said the prop.  I certainly didn't mean to insinuate you did anything wrong.  I am just looking at options.  I think I said I am far from an expert in the coding and just was asking if its possible.  Also I just said you suggested the option not recommended it and I had no intention of using anything against EFX-TEK or anybody.

Sorry if I upset anybody.

[JackMan]

What brand and model servos are you using?

I'm a writer and an actor and the meaning of words are important to me. From my point of view, I felt I was being blamed when I only tried to help. That said, I was being jokey with my response and even used one of those silly face things.

I refreshed the last version I found posted with my latest drivers.

Thank you.
