i called Parallax tech support again, and he thought it may be a
noise problem, so after i got off the phone, i routed the ATN wire
from the serial cable through 2 0.1UF capacitors just like the board
of education uses. he said that might fix it. well, ummmm.. nope.
didnt help a bit. i am using a 7.2v battery pack to power the
servo, BUT it is going through a 5v regulator. so my servo is
getting real close to 5volts.
on another note, i know for sure that the servo is good, because i
tested it on a R/C receiver. and the Parallax tech guy says that
the stamp is good, because other functions work off of that pin. im
running out of options too...... the servo ground is not connected
to the stamp ground right now, but im going to go try it now. thanks for
the help guys -tim

earlier post, the Stamp ground and servo ground MUST be connected
together.
