BSIISX - Connecting Servo''s Correctly

Al,

I tried this program and it has ruined two of my servos. It runs
them all the way to lock in one direction and keeps trying to go on.
I even tried the modifications suggested for the BS2SX.
To no avail.

Can't afford to lose any more servos.

What now?

Thanks.

Doug
