I believe I can disconnect the OC2 pin from the unneeded IR-Xmit function,
so I can divert it for my own use.  Would that require any trace cutting,
or perhaps removal of the LED Xmitter?  Or, better yet, is it all a
software change?

Fred, I know you're busy, but you may be the best man to answer this one.

So close, and yet so far...

Randy's ideas about driving multiple servos will come in handy to drive
the 4 servos, since it seems only the OC functions have been commandeered
for Handyboard stuff.  I can upgrade to the E processor, and get 4 IC
lines, and finally be able to process 4 RC signals.

Thanks, all.

By the way, Lockheed Martin is hiring engineers for some neat space
robotics design work.  Send me your resumes and I'll pass them on.  We
need people who know C/C++, Unix, robotics, and don't sneer at
simulation.  Usually it's all we have when the damn robot is too weak to
move on the ground.  Yet on orbit they manipulate multi-ton payloads with
ease.
