problem with PSC comm?

playfight

I was having problems talkign to my PSC device.
I started off with the firmware program, where it would not report
the version I had. I followed the directions and called tech support.
They very quickly assumed I had a faulty unprogramed board, and sent me out a new one. The new one came, and it did the same. I downloaded the PDF on the PSC and read it carefully (being a Saturday - can't call tech support) and noticed the Vservo jumper was set wrong. This rests between the X4 and X5 I/0 pin slots. Mine was on the two pins closest to the breadboard, the Vin position. I moved it up to the Vdd position, the other two pins, and now it is working. I have firmware version 1.3 as it turns out.

Thought i would post this for other newbies who might save 5 days by reading this, unlike myself. At least I have a spare PSC board now

Thank you. I read more carefully the pdf file about Parallax servo controller and I've find the answers.
I've finally controlled my home made robot arm. Here is the first test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7peMI2R8so
