    Hey Badger,

    When you say "the book," do you mean What's a Microcontroller, Chapter 4? If that is not what you mean - start there first.

    A bit more information would be nice. What's your code? Make sure that you try values between 1 ms and 2 ms, and on both sides of 1.5 ms.

    This sweeps a standard one way then the other, repeatedly.· Don't play with servos much, but this made it happen for me.

    DO
  value = 2200
  FOR x = 0 TO 30
    GOSUB dispserv
    NEXT
 
  PAUSE 1000
 
  value = 400
  FOR x = 0 TO 30
    GOSUB dispserv
    NEXT
 
  PAUSE 1000
 
LOOP
 

dispserv:
  PULSOUT 14, (value/2)   ' servo pin
  PAUSE 15
  RETURN
