PSC with continuous servos

When I use the serial PSC with continuously rotating servos, they move slowly when the PSC is turned on and connected to the BOE.
Is there a simpler way to stop their rotation than finding the neutral PW value for each motor?
Thanks

    No, not really (at least not with the PSC).

    If your continuous rotation servos have a screw-adjustable pot for "tuning" the neutral point, that would be easiest. If you can not adjust the neutral/center point on the servo itself, you will need the host that is controlling the PSC to send your calibrated "neutral" pulsewidths upon startup.

    With a "roll-your-own" controller (say on an SX) you could program your calibrated centers for each servo to be used as the "neutral" output when receiving a 1.5ms position command.
