Pulsin

Armored Cars

I cant seem to get this to work, if someone could help me out that would be great.· Im trying to read the pulse from an RC reciever and send it to an RC servo.· Ive tried this:

MANUAL:
· mansteer=PULSIN 2
· mandrive=PULSIN 3
· PULSOUT steer, mansteer
· PULSOUT drive, mandrive
· GOTO MANUAL

and this:

MANUAL:
··PULSOUT steer, PULSIN 2
· PULSOUT drive,·PULSIN 3
· GOTO MANUAL

and nethier tolkienize.· Im out of ideas.

This also leads me to another question, can I use the OEM BS2s 5v regulator to run an RC reciever or would that put too much load on it?

Just to clerify that last question I have 6v in the VIN and was just going to hook up the reciever to the VDD.

I recommend downloading the PDF of the
"Basic Stamp Programming Manual".· It's really
excellent.

You used the wrong syntax on the PULSIN statement.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
