Subject: [alt-beam] Motor spin


Hello all,

I've been lurking here for about 2 months and just breadboarded Ian's Almost
Complete Walker over the weekend.

The problem I am having is that the motors turn strangely. They go about 20
degrees in one direction, then only about 10 degrees back. This repeats
until they get to their limit and then just repeatedly bounce back. I'm
using converted hobby servos. Any ideas?

Thanks,
