Ok I'm using this command to control 4 servos.·

Can I·use·the pulsout more than 4 times in a program without using a servo controller·APP mod.

·I have throught about using·(slots 0,1) to change between·extra·servo's.·· If i do this method ·how much slower will the program run·in controlling the·extra servo's of an aircraft.··Of cause I understand changing the slot this will affect the·first four servo's and will·stop working momentary.· Calutating the time·difference·between the change·over is my major concern, and the affects that it may have on the First four servos picking up the first program slot again once the program goes back to running as usual.

    Davids,

    ·· Any more than 4 or 5 servos and you will really want to add our Servo Controller.· As for switching program slots while running them, there will be a pause for sure, especially if you plan on maintaining variables and other program settings.· Again, with the PSC at least the refresh would be maintained.
