Continuous Rotation DC Motor Speed Control

Posts: 1
I need to control a DC gear motor for adjustable constant speed control. I'm a mechanical engineer / electrical engineer. Weakness is programming. I do servos on the industrial level, but have a personal project I am working on with the propellor board.
Bought the propeller starter kit and some extra HB25s, motors, etc. Started going through the tutorial and I want to speed things up a bit.
Can someone recommend a place to search for source code that people offer? I am looking for a starting point as I develop my code / my library of code for the propeller.
If you have any suggestions for other cost effective options, I'd be curious to know as well. I am also thinking about trying the Arduino.
Basically jumping into the micro controller world head first and trying to get my first project off the ground. Making a little robot that's driveshaft powered. 12VDC motor.
Thanks!!

A believe you can use just about any servo object to control the HB25 controllers.
I wrote a servo tester program for the QuickStart board. Post #15 of the thread has a simple servo demo program.
I have a list of servo related links in post #10 of my index.
And whenever servos are mentioned I use it as an excuse to mention my 32 servo demo.
Hopefully this will get you started using servos with the Propeller.
