Prop Proto Board Servo Headers?

How are the servos on the prop protoboard connected to the prop?· Also, what is the spin equivalent of PULSOUT?

Thanks.

    They're not connected unless you make a connection. The power and ground are connected to the Protoboard's ground and a jumper either to Vin or the +5V regulator. The control line is not connected, just brought to an eyelet on the board next to the servo connectors (There is a schematic you can look at). I soldered a 1K resistor from each of those eyelets to the next hole, then ran a jumper from that hole (connected under the board to the 1K resistor) to a propeller pin for each servo.

    There are several servo drivers in the Object Exchange. There's also a PULSOUT routine in the BS2 Compatibility Library, also in the Object Exchange.
