    Hello,

    Until directed to do otherwise upon reset all servos are sent a center pulse (1.5mS). Take care.

    From page 8, http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/motors/PSCusbManualRevBv3_4.pdf
    Hardware Reset Pushbutton
    The pushbutton on the PSCusb is connected to the reset circuit of the on-board microcontroller. Pushing
    this pushbutton resets the microcontroller thereby resetting all parameters to their default values.
    Presumably, "default values" means the PSC channels are set to the center (mid) value (750 units, 2usecs/unit) for position, to "zero" ramp speed (no ramping, or fastest travel to new position), and· the default communications port setting to 2400 bps.
