Servo ??? Details

I'm sorry that my question did not contain enough detail.

I have a futaba3003 and it works well with the code I am writing for
it. I am connecting the futaba directly to the BOE. The power wires
are connected in parallel with 2300uF cap. The signal wire is
connected to an I/O. I use a for/next loop and pulsout command to
the servo. Then I use a second set of for/next and pulsout commands
to move the servo to a different position, and so on. The pause
statements are used to just pause the servo between positions.

This setup has been working for me using the futaba, but when I
remove the futaba servo and replace it with the bp148 servo, it will
follow and execute the first for/next loop. Before moving to the next
postion the servo will then stall and pulsate. The pulsating occurs
at the same pace of the pause statements thoughout the program, so
this tells me the the program is running. But somehow the servo is
not executing the second or third or forth...... position. Do I
need to change the value of the cap? Or is there additional circuitry
that I am missing? No Clue!!!!

Thanks!
