Hi,
Try adding some delay time between turning the servo on and off.  For
example, 'sleep(2.0);'.

Add the sleep(2.0) as follows:

void main()
{
servo_on(); /* on servo */
servo(3800); /* full left turn */ • sleep(2.0); /* wait for 2 seconds for servo to move */
servo_off(); /* off servo */
fd(0);          /* motor 0 on */
        sleep(2.0); /* for 2 secs */
servo_on(); /* on servo */ • sleep(2.0); /* wait */
servo(2500); /* mid position */
servo_off();
}

Probably the reason why it runs in interactive mode is because you're
pausing between each command when you are sending it to the HB.  The sleep
function above should do just that in your code.

Good luck,
kam
