Hello i just finished wiring up servo, perch and coin connections.  Instructions say the Servo will move the PARK mine continues to move same action repeatedly and not stop.

I'm certainly not an expert on this, but the few times I had issues with the servo, it was either incorrectly wired (which happened far more than I care to admit), or the wire connections were loose, which kept it going back and forth.  But sounds like the board is receiving an errand signal?

I did just upload the program on a new Arduino, and the program seems to be working. May be worth trying to reupload, double checking the wire config, and saying if any loose connections.  I ended up getting a solderable breadboard because I couldn't keep the connections secured enough (probably bought cheap breadboards).

We've also seen a lot of bum servos, so worth checking to make sure it's a reputable one and/or testing against another if you have one on hand.
