Filtering IR''s

Alex,
How do you know its working if the 555 is reading 0000? Regardless,
check your connections, you may not be connected to the correct I/O pin.
Your servo motions don't tell us how you've hooked them up. What is your
program? Anyway, recheck your connections from the 555 to the Stamp, and
re-test. All those wires on the BOE board get tough to follow after a
while! I have two BoE-Bots, they are way spiff for this kind of stuff.
If you are intersted in interesting programming for robotics, check out
the BoE-Bot downloads for the "Subsumption Programming" article that I
wrote for the BoE-Bot. It will show many interesting programming
examples to do things you would not normally think possible without
interrupts.
So, carefully go over your connections - if your IRPD is now working,
then you have the connection to the Stamp on the wrong pin.
have fun,
DLC
