Years ago I found info and code for controlling servos via an analog joystick input. I searched the forum for the info, but only found bits of info. Anyone know where I can find info? I should get the basics from WAM, and I was thinking about getting the Stampworks kit. I'm no stranger to programming. I've programmed in Basic from the old DOS days to Visual Basic, SPARC and x86 ASM, C, C++. So the only thing that I will need to refresh is my syntax and my electronic skills. DO you think Stampworks is the route to go? Is there another route I should take?
I think StampWorks is a great way to go! · (I wrote it).
And we have lots of other great resources too.· You'll find lots of books from our Education group (in particular from my colleague Andy Lindsay) and the "Stamp Applications" columns from Nuts & Volts (almost 7 years worth) are available as PDFs on our site.·
You might download the latest version of PBasic's reference to go with your software. I imagine that would refresh quite a bit and bring you current about the fundamentals. It is V2.2.
You can use an older version of PBasic if that is more to your liking. V2.0 and V2.1 are still downloadable.

Thanks! I collected almost all the issues of Nuts & Volts from 2001 when they had the series of articles of building a BASIC robot out of a radio shack project box and peanut butter lids for wheels. That was another one of those projects that were put on hold back then. I figure if I can find the time to build an 8' tall amateur rocket, I can find time for Stamps.
