hey,

soon i will start fabricating the servo control part of one of my projects. i need to control 9 servos 1 at a time via a BS2 what do you think would be the esiest way do do it ? like using the servo controlers from parallax.com or something like the attached photo (which is allready created).

Thanx,
-MM

    Try the 20 port servo controller from www.robot-electronics.com. I've used it for a while, and there is example code on their website specifically for the basic stamp (and for the Javalin written by yours truly - note - I have no association with them!)

    You might also consider the PSC -- designed and supported by the same people who brought you the BS2 and this support forum.· The PSC uses single-wire, multi-dropped serial comms (i.e., SEROUT/SERIN); the other device recommended requries I2C which while it can be done on the BS2, requires a lot of extra code (I2C is built in to the BS2p family).·

    The PSC offers 16 channels for $39 ... not a bad deal.· Have a look: http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28023
