    Sorry not sure if total understand what you are trying to say, possible you could show a pic or two, better than words.
    9v's attached to RC servos will kill them, if using a 9V psu please only plug this into the ard and the +/- ve of the servos will need to plug into the 5V and the GND of the Ard as per my picture.

    That's what we are here for Mate , follow my simply wiring diagram on first post and plug the 9v into the Ard via its jack and all will be good.

    The Ard has its own 5V regulator on it which will filter the 9V to a steady 5V that the RC servos need.
    Do a Google search on RC Servos connected to the Ardunio for more information, plenty out there.

    @value1. I did everything like in the installation guide. Now as to the plugins .... must have coins to download, if 250 coins and then keep having to "pay" for this weekly amount?

    Hi @Alexandre Kostik as @value1 says your participation on the forum gets you coins. Once you download a plugin and save it to your computer you don't pay anything more for it. Its not a weekly payment.

    Hello @ value1. I can not open the GameEngine and GameManager ... I installed the plugins, and shut the PluginUpdater when I click on the icons appear on the answer "GameManeger is already Running!" and stands, not opening any other screen. This also happens in GameEngine contecendo ... what is or what should I do?

    hello @value1. I'm building a prototype controlled by servos. I followed the instructions from the startup tab, but I have the following problem when I do the test in GameEngine, the servos do not move, I am using the wiring diagram suggested by @eaorobbie, with Ard and 2 micro servos, because when test the cursor movement which nothing happens ..... Ard code should I put in, because I installed the ones that are available here in the post, but were not successful.:think:think

    I dont mean to post everywhere but i was curious if this could be done with the Pololu JRK 12v12's. Can the JRK receive feedback(position) from the servo with just the 3 wires? Any help given would be greately appreciated and ill post my entire build process when its completed.
