    If you're trying to pulse two servos, they don't need to be pulsed simultaneously. You can pulse one, then the other, then wait 20ms and repeat. OTOH, if both servos must always receive the same pulse width, you can also just connect their control leads together and drive them with a single pin.

    Thanks Pil,

    ·I will also be moving them one at a time as well. Can you show me the correct way to type that command to move them at the same time. I guess I'm not following you.
