Re: TI-H: G3 Rocks and a servo question???
The guy at the bottom is right about the servos. They do run on a pulse
channel. Servos can also be modified to accept a continuous 'pulse' and
complete a 306 degree rotation in either direction. I have successfully
modified my servos into 'motors'. These can be used along with the BS1 to make
things such as a robot. Is anyone else working on a way to program basic
stamps with their TI calc? This is something I am interested in and would like
to start trying.
