Servo Died

[drewdin]

I got to page 16 in the manual, the servo was working fine and then just stopped. I touched it and it was burning hot. I removed the power, let it cool down and tried it again. It is dead as dirt!

I just got the starter kit last Friday, how can I get the servo replaced? Thanks

I got to page 16 in the manual,

Which starter kit and manual are you following? (we have a few)

Hi,

I purchased this starter kit, the $85 dollar one. I have the link below

Page 16 references setting up the servo on pin9 and watching it wipe from side to side. It worked for a good 5 minutes before stopping.

OK. I believe that the ARDX starter kit comes with a micro-servo like this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/169

I ordered four of the same kind of micro-servo and two of them won't move. The other two I ordered work perfectly.
