Hi- I am not able to find DS-1233-10 (U12) for the handy board. If anybody knows where I could get it or even a good replacement for it, please inform me. Thanks, Ravi. (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'd go for the Coke can idea. Sounds like a surer shot. I thought init_expbd_servos(x), where x = integer from 0 to 5, was used to initialize the servos individually. Stupid me. I've been using init_expbd_servos(5), and, since I only had #5 hooked (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Doc, The function call "init_expbd_servos(0);" turns them off, "init_expbd_servos(1);" turns them on. Something like "servo5=2300;" commands a servo to a position, but only if the servos are initialized as per above. Maybe I used a confusing term (...)
