I'm using a couple of Futaba S148 servos and they work fine with
resistors -- I'm using 270 or 330 ohm ones. The Board of Education from
Parallax does not have resistors, but I think it uses the Hitech servos.

Original Message

while looking at different examples on the net for driving hobby servo's
with a BS2 i noticed that sone circuits have connections straight to the
stamp and others have a resistor in line. Can anyone tell me if the resistor
is needed or is just there as a saftey feature to limit the current from the
stamp.

Thanks
