Faults caused by the servo controller

Hi, does anyone have experience with the servo controller module? Unfortunately, I have the problem that the controller affects the rest of the program.
In the attached example, my click menu only works sporadically as soon as the controller and a servo are connected.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you, greetings Chris

I don't think it's a fault caused by the servomotors, as the same problems occur even without the motors connected

Hi Chris.
Personally I would eliminate the servo motor and power supply by just using a basic control of the servo on a press of a switch.
Use one switch to control clockwise and another switch to control counter clockwise, or use a potentiometer.
It could be either the power supply is not up to the task, or the servo drawing more current than specified due to a fault.
Once the basic control works, you can then go on to more complex servo control

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your help.
I also have the problems when no servo motor is connected. I think that somehow the internal logic of the controller is interfering with the regular programme by using the PWM and timer.
Perhaps I should dispense with the servo controller macro and control the servos via PWM outputs?
