ive got a simple servo problem

Posts: 46,084
hello,
listen - i know im sounding like a complete loser when i ask this - but I
am really just beginning with the BASICX board and servos and am kinda lost.
I have a servo set up with the 5V supply and I am sending a signal to the
servo to move, however, no response is found. But, if i pull the connector
to the servo off then back on then off again, the servo jerks - this leads
me to believe that i have the timer off. here is my code now:
do
Call PulseOut(12,1382,1)
Call Sleep(30)
loop
its suppose to sleep for 30ms so i know that the last sleep call is wrong
but how do i fix it? thanx in advance
The TRUE beginner - Matt

I dont know if that is your complete code or what your writing it on but
what are you making a Call to?
Try
loop:
pulsout 12,60000 ' 1 pulse 120 milliseconds in length
pause 30
goto loop
How are you changing motor directions
