servo motor resets 16f877a

[Macgman2000]

It's not the weight necessarily its the mass. The servo was intended to pull on a throttle cable, or steering linkage etc.... it is not intended to hold up a mass with a lever arm that extends beyond the servo horn rigidly. The metal gear servo's are generally a bit slower and are heavier duty. If you stick to the current servos you will have to gear the turret with a worm gear to keep it from back driving the servo.

You have a few issues to work out in addition to the power supply it seems.

Good thoughts...
Maybe if that 'turret' was neutrally balanced, the whole thing might perform a lot better.
In the video, it almost looks like it's hanging off the end of a crane arm or something. Kinda like trying to hold onto a concrete block with your arms straight out.
