Servo is causing connection faliure

I am attempting to setup a servo for auto bed leveling and I am running into a few issues.

When I run a M280 P1 S10 to move the servo, it moves and then the connection to the RAMPS 1.4 board fails. Any ideas?

SENDING:M280 P1 S60
[ERROR] Can't read from printer (disconnected?) (OS Error 6): Device not configured
[ERROR] Can't write to printer (disconnected?) (SerialException): write failed: [Errno 6] Device not configured

Not enough power from the RAMPS board to run the servo. You'll need to power the servo separately.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Others don't seem to have the same problem. Is there something I can do to increase power to RAMPS 1.4 board? Or would a different servo have lower power requirements?

Thanks for your help 3D Karma. I have the stepper running from an external source now and removed the servo power jumper. All working fine.

Now, I when I hit G29, I just another G28 Home. Rather than multiple points. Using the latest Marlin firmware. With Auto leveling enabled. Any suggestions?

Make sure your servo is wired properly. There is a difference between JR, Futaba, and Airtronics wired servo's. Also you never mentioned which servo you are using.

If it wasn't wired correctly. Then M402 wouldn't retract it right?
