Update: I double checked all wiring and connection to servo motor. On a whim, I reversed the servo cable connection, so that the black wire is on the inside (the right side) of the EBB. This is the opposite of what the instructions say I should do.

After reversing the cable, the servo works fine and all seems ok. Apparently, either the instructions are incorrect (Step 38) or my cable is reversed for some reason.

Ok, I’ve tried the egg motor. It moves fine, as does the pen motor. So apparently it’s something with the servo motor. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks.

Yes, I have power with the USB cable unplugged.

I’ll try to move the motor later today, using the “Manual tab”, once I’m back at the bot.

No, that’s not it. Lights are on, both green ones at top next to power supply and flashing green one between USB and power connections.
