BOE Robot Questions

Hi,

I received a BOE with Stamp II Chip recently. I will be making a vehicle similar to the BOE bot for a school project.

I have two questions.

1. I will be using a different brand servo (and yes it is continuous rotation)

www.lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx?productID=429&CategoryID=38

Will this servo work with the BOE and will the set-up be the same as with the boe-bot servos by futaba?

2. I have been practicing loading the code with the LED set-up on the breadboard. I noticed that the code runs from the Stamp II right after I hit RUN from the Basic stamp editor. Is there a way to send the code to the Stamp, but not execute the code until I hit the reset button on the board?

Thanks for any help in these two areas.

    1) The servos should work fine if they're standard hobby-type servos.· The values for the PULSOUT may need to be adjusted a bit for them (Calibration), but it should work fine.

    2) On the BOE-Bot power is kept from the the Servos during download to prevent the BOE-Bot from taking off...You will have to do something similar.

    BTW, I changed your subject line.· Newb with n00b question isn't likely to get many answers.· =)

    Thanks a lot Chris. I installed a 3-position switch as an input on PIN4 and had the program hold until the switch is turned on. Thanks a lot for the reply.
