·In the same train of thought, If I am using pulsout to control a hobby servo, can I substitute a "gosub and return" routine in place of the 20 ms pause between pulsouts? (assuming the gosub command requires roughly the same amount of time to execute)
·I remember a while back, someone posted a list of processor times for the various commands. Does anyone have a URL or know where I can find that info?
Thanks in advance,

... and once the newest stamp with it's great new instructions is
released, I'm sure Tracy will be back at it again... Thanks Tracy.
i believe that this not the right group to put this message, but,
since i intend to use it in my stamp project, here goes:
Anyone of you knows where i can buy joysticks (but only the stick
with 2 buttons?) ? i haved tried all, with no success.
any help?
thanks!

These old Joysticks will probably have two 100 kOhm logarithmic potmeters
inside. For input into the BS2 you can use the RCTIME command.
To find out which pin in the connector goes to which potmeter you may have
to open the joystick and measure the connections.

Klaus

You could Google for "atari joystick pinout". I found several hits
doing that, but if memory serves, they were simply a common line
that connected alternately to one of four outer contacts. Two could
conduct if you moved it in a diagonal direction.

What type of joystick? An Atari joystick simply has 4 microswitches
that are open or closed. Other types of joysticks had 2 potentiometers
(1 for the X axis and 1 for the Y axis).
bit with them.
Basically these are designed with five digital switches and two 8-bit
ADC's. The 5 switches are for the joystick part of it, the two adc's are
for the "paddle" part of it. I actually built a sort of an analog joystick
(star wars style) for the C64 / atari some time in the mid 80's. It worked
okay.
The joystick is an 8-position joystick, so when you're going left, you're
turning on one 'switch', when you're going up, you're turning on another,
when you're going up/left, you're turning on both. All you'd need to do to
read this joystick would be look at the switch states. I think it's just a
matter of grounding the common ground to the pin, which on the BS2 would
just be a matter of building a voltage divider between ground and the
open/closed pin.
Reading the 'paddle' (ADC) part of it might be more tricky, you'd probably
have to use RCtime.
Good luck. Shouldn't be hard.
