(...) Warning: I haven't tried the following idea. Single chip add-on to control 8 servos using one timer line and a few digital outputs: The 74HC238 is a 3 to 8 demultiplexor.

Since electric motors running off small, mobile power supplies tend to be weak and slow, I was considering designing a pneumatic arm powered by an onboard container of compressed air. Can anyone tell me where I can obtain pneumatic solenoids (...)   (30 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(We're fixing that in the Mac IC beta soon). If you do get "illegal line in .s19" in (...)   (30 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

 oh come on, Randy, you're acting too much like a big software company! "Don't worry that that feature is broken, it will be fixed in our new version!"Most of the time, people would rather hear a workaround than be told to upgrade! Regarding the (...)

Guess it comes from trying to earn a living selling software :) At any rate, I had seen the workaround for free IC posted several times in the past week, so I thought I would add rather than repeat information.
