Hello,
Trying to work out the best way to design a simple robotic face to
express simple emotions using servo motors. The problem I'm haveing
is not sure if the PIC is the stamp chip or do I need a stamp chip
for each motor? Also do I need a development board to control the
stamps or is it the PIC?
Cheers willie

pulse every 20 mSec to 50 mSec. (1 mSec is all the
way left, 2 mSec all the way right, 1.5 mSec is
center).
The BS2 Stamp 'module' (a 24-pin wide DIP form-factor
circuit board) has 16 I/O pins. It is a single
tasking beast, meaning if you want to control
16 servos, each servo's pulse will go out at
a different time -- BUT, since you'll refresh
all 16 servos every 20 to 50 mSec, this isn't
a problem.
The 'module' has on-board a PIC processor, which
serves as the CPU of the module.
You will need some kind of board to plug the
servos into -- each servo needs three wires.
These are VCC, Ground, and Signal. The BS2
supplies the Signal, but you'll need a
connection for VCC and Ground for each servo.
The BoardOfEducation has 4 servo connections
on it already, AND has a socket for the BS2,
AND has a small prototyping area. The BOE
Full Kit may be all you need to start with.
