How sensitive are the exp bd servo routines to many processes running concurrently. My servo works fine in a stand alone test file but when I include it in my main code it gets the "nervous shakes", as if the timing pulse is fluctuating ( I don't (...)

Drew- I have a Handy Board on a robot that runs three servos and the GP2D02 sensor, and I have the same nervous jitters problem. However, I do not run any processes on this application.

Hi all I just finished rewriting the GP2D02 routines by Kent. Seems all to work just fine....except that I don't get readings below around 55.
