Problem with PSC (Parallax servo controller)

Hi, New to this forum and kinda new to Parallax.
Dont know if this is the correct category to put this post.
Im working on a robot that uses servos to move, im using a Atmega 169 to controll my Parallax servo controller.
I have gotten it to work nicly, but latly, when i start it or after it has been walking for a while the PWM signal from the PSC just stops = servos die. I dont have a singel clue of whats causing this, The red led is still on and the green as well (green flasing), but the servos dont move. this does'nt always happen but more often of latly, sometimes it helps to reset the PSC but not often.
I would be so happy if anyone know what might be wrong here.

·· You're going to have to find a way to isolate the problem.· We cannot diagnose problem with code/communications for other microcontrollers, but if you believe it to be the PSC, you can get an RMA number, send it in, and we can test it for you.
