"SimulIDE to Arduino UNO Example" (Youtube tutorial). SimulIDE on Catalina MacOS 10.15.7

Hi! 

I'm trying to follow this "SimulIDE-Arduino" Youtube tutorial and I'm stuck (as in I'm not sure the code is supposed to work with the latest SimulIDE version, and on Catalina MacOS). I attached the SimulIDE schematic and included the code for the Arduino board below (both are from this Youtube tutorial I'm trying to learn from).

Can someone—using the latest SimulIDE version on MacOS (or any other OS like Windows/Linux)—tell me if the schematic and the code can work together? On my computer, the .hex file loads successfully, but the servo motors don't spin.

Thank you!

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo0;  // create servo object to control a servo
Servo myservo1;  // create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards

int pos = 0;    // variable to store the servo position

void setup() {
  myservo0.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
  myservo1.attach(10);  // attaches the servo on pin 10 to the servo object
}

void loop() {
  for (pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) { // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
    // in steps of 1 degree
    myservo0.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    myservo1.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15 ms for the servo to reach the position
  }
  for (pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) { // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
    myservo0.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    myservo1.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15 ms for the servo to reach the position
  }
}


On Wokwi, the servos are turning... (see here).

Hi.

That code in that circuit should work.

The only problem I can think is that servos in the circuit and sketch should have the same configuration:
https://simulide.com/p/forum/topic/problems-with-servos-rc-simulation/?part=2#postid-85
But the servos should move in any case.

There is an example with almost the exact same code but for 1 servo, you ca try it:
File explorer->Examples->Outputs->Motors->servo-sweep

The schematic in SimulIDE was the problem...  I'm posting it below. Thanks!
