Servo Controller always runs an initial ride - how to control that

Hello,

i use a Parallax serial servo controller (PSC #28023, V1.4) wiht a BS2 and a futaba standard servo.
When i power on this equipment at once, the futabe servo always runs an initial ride of 90 degree with full speed and back with a lower speed.

Is there a chance to control this initial ride ?


Thanks for any help.
TomTom

    Could you attach your code? Use the attachment manager in the post reply button.

    Sorry, I should have posted my code, now i am off office, so it will take a few days to do so,

    BUT:
    This initial ride takes place in the moment of power on, this means before my code beginns to work, after that my code works perfect.

    Could be the controller has a default starting position that you can set that you haven't set yet.

    Yes, this is what i thought about, too.
    But i could not find a hint in the reference and the parallax-technical stuff did not answer this question, even though i asked them twice per mail.
    So i am still searching.

    P.S
    I have two of this servo controllers and they both act the same way - so at least i think they are not damaged.
