| Oct 28, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | Matthias W | ok thank you now it works. there were two faults... i tried 12V and now the servo turns around. and i inverted the GND and VCC of the servo -> no smoke anymore. | |
| Oct 27, 2015 at 23:32 | comment | added | Phil B. | so you have VCC connected to 6.5V and GND to the GND of the same 6.5V source? You will also need to connect GND to the RPi GND, otherwise there is no common reference between the VCC and the C1/C2 pins. Finally - the motor was made to run with 9V DC - it would be best if you tried a 9V source first. | |

| Oct 26, 2015 at 19:50 | comment | added | Phil B. | Can you post a schematic of your setup? Smoking breadboard connectors is not a good thing - and, 6.5V shouldn't cause any smoking unless you are pushing excessive Amps through the wires. Also, check philohome.com/pf/pf.htm for all the wiring details regarding LEGO PowerFunctions motors - for the servo you need both GND+VCC as well as C1 and C2. The motor won't move if you only use C1 and C2. | |
