Servo control???

Hello fellow stampers,

I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I purchased a servo
from balsa products. It is a bp148. When I try to program one
position, it works alright. But, when I try to program the servo to
move to one position, then pause, then another position, the servo
seems to lock up. What am I doing wrong?? Please help!!!

    Frank -

    You're a bit short on details.

    How about the program listing, a description of the wiring, the power
    supply, and which processor you are using to control it. At least that
    gives any responder a fighting chance :-)

    Regards,

    Frank:
    How are you doing the pause? You must repeatedly send the same pulse width
    for it to not move.

    Does the servo and Stamp have connected grounds?
