hard to tell what is wrong.  do you have a scope so that you can view
the servo control signal.

Hello,

I emailed this to the handy board list and got one response. I am mailing
it back hoping that I can get some more responses from those on the list
and perhaps fred.

Hi,

I stopped working with the handyboard for a while but just started back up
again.  I put the expansion board onto my handyboard and began testing it.
After testing the general tests done before with just the handyboard I
started testing the servo ports.

I am having some trouble with controlling the ports though.  When I enter
init_expbd_servos(int action); from the computer via IC, the motor turns
completely clockwise.  It does not matter what my integer is as long as it
is not zero.  I am not sure what the action variable should be in any case.
I also am unable to change the direction of the servo no matter what action
value is given or what value I give servo0, the port that the motor is
plugged into.

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how to control the servo?

Thanks,

Scott Sherman
