Programming a Digital servo

I know Paralax sells digital servos for se with the basic stamp line.
I'm inquiring about using another digital servo with the basic stamp.
It is a digital servo made by Hitec. This servo is programmable
(center, end stops, and center dead band.) I was wondering if the
stamp could actually program it. I know this may be a weird question,
but I though i would ask.

Does anyone know?

Thanks for the help,

James Long

    www.kronosrobotics.com has a section on
    modifying servos -- I believe the HITECH is
    one he documents.

    Actually, I believe most servo's have the rule
    that 1 mSec is all the way left, 2 mSec is all
    the way right, and 1.5 mSec is in the middle.
    As long as they use a normally low line, pulsed
    high for 1.5 mSec every 20 mSec to hold center,
    (or some pulse arrangement like that) the
    BS2 should be able to work with it. Use the
    PULSOUT command.
