Ive been having a problem with the Boe Bot. When I program it to go straight in the GUI Bot program, it does 360's instead, and when I program it to do 360, it goes straight, and I canot figure out how to make it do simple turns. Any help would be appreciated.

    Tuor -

    Do you have the leads reversed on one (ONLY one) of the wheel servos?

    Regards,

    No, don't "reverse the leads"! I think you'll blow up the servo if you plug it in backwards.

    If you program both servo's to go in the "same direction', since the servos are mounted back to back, the BOE-Bot will spin in a circle. So you'll have to program one servo PULSOUT 4, 850, and the other servo PULSOUT 5, 650, in order to make the BOE-Bot go forward.

    Okay, that seemed to fix the problem, thanks.
