    What I did, is I used a golf shaft with a couple of zip ties and a servo.· I put a red LED in the shaft so that everytime I had it fire the red LED would light up and make a firing sound on the peizo speaker.· Let me know·if you have any questions.

    Dave

    Thanks, Dave

    What I'm trying to do is this first off, Im not getting the hed of my droidto work the way·I want. simply·I want to look to the left then all the way to the right then center after that·I use a bottle rocket wich is ignited by a esties igniter using the pulsout 15, 850 command they fly beautiful!!

    However·I·was wondering about turning one way then all the way to the other and back straight again·I love your code but it moves to just one side I want to look in bolth directions then center can you fix my code or if It's to far off give me one that will work, PRETTY PLEASE!!!!

    Thanks, RICK

    idea.gif·Hey, I found the reasone for the troubles!!!idea.gif I hooked up a PARLLAX continuous rotation servo, and my program does what It is should do!
    In other words what I tell it to do!
    But, when·I use my standard hobby servo, it dosent!
    I'm sure the answer is right in front of me, but I can't figure It out.confused.gif
    Just shooting in the dark! The servo works fine, VIA radio and TRANSMITTER
    so I know It's not the servo!smilewinkgrin.gif

    A non-continious servo is more presise for your job with the correct programm... You can even target a thing by mesuring its distanse with IR...cool.gif

    Look in the WAM book and it gives examples of how to control non-continuous servos. I used some to control a pan and tilt rig with a wireless camera that I added on to my boe-bot. You can d/l the text off the parallax web site. Hope this helps.
