I'd get rid of that...and I'd be willing to bet if you hooked up an o'scope to the output under a load, the output would drop off like a rock and just plain look ugly.Originally Posted by burak450
You'd be better off with an 8 cell AA NiMH pack of batteries. I would definitely support the load of 2 servos a lot better.
A single 9V battery (the little square ones) or even 2 connected in parallel... That just isn't going to support the load either.
And again, I see the one capacitor across what looks to be the output power and ground lines....ONE capacitor. Are there any more around there? A small cap across Vdd/Vss on the PIC? Another one across Vin/Gnd on the 7805, one across Vout/Gnd on the 7805, one on the main power input? Maybe even one across V+ and Gnd for the servo?and thats 7805 circuit...
You need more than one capacitor in a circuit for good performance...One somewhere in the circuit isn't good enough.

Well, you can waste your time by swapping servo's, trying different code, and so on...or you can get a better power supply and start making progress on your project. Your choice...I think there are two possibilities about my problem
power problem or broken servo...
