my shaft encoder routines are not compatible with the old servo routines.
please try the new servo routines at

| thanks fred. i'm now using the servo_a7.icb routines to drive my servo. i am still experiencing problems with the analog ports. i have cascading if then else statements that yield varying responses from my 5 analog ldr's. i have put printf's (...)
