Need help controlling servos

I've been set a project a uni to build a walking robot. I've got a servo control board thats using a bs2sx but i can't get it to control any of the servos. The control board is the one on this page...

http://www.milinst.com/animatronics/animatronics.htm#servodrivers

It's the servo 8 board and i'm trying to control 6 servos with it.

I've tried using the code thats on the data sheet but it doesn't do anything, can anyone give me some simple code that would just move one servo, i should be able to work from there.

cheers

    Since you are using a BS-2SX instead of a BS-2 as shown in the sample program, you will need to change the baudmode parameter. The BS-2SX is faster than the BS-2 thus the baudmode needs to be changed.

    Presently n96n con $4054

    Change to n96n con $40F0

    You should be good to go after that change.
