10 years ago Probably a conflict with the built in Arduino timers. Typically on the Arduino Uno I use pin 11 for input. I've had no conflicts of the servo library using that pin. There is a conflict on Arduino Leonardo because it defaults to timer 1 on my IR library and that's the same one used by the servo library.
I've also had problems if you are powering your Arduino from a regular PC or laptop USB port. Lots of times they cannot power a servo along with any other gadgets.

Hi, Not sure if this the best way to ask for help, if not would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
My project uses two servo inputs from radio controller on 5&6 I'm reading these with pulsein. These have a little processing and output to pins 8 & 9 respectively using Servo.h library. This works fine on its own. Another part of my project listens for a specific IR signal, (on pin 2) when it receives the signal it will limit servo travel. Again, on it's own the IR receiver works just fine. But when I integrate the two parts of the program and add... My_Receiver.enableIRIn(); The servo signals can still be read from the receiver but the servo output stops working completely. I'd be very grateful if you could shed some light on this. Thanks.
