Parallax Servo Control Board (Serial)

Hi Guys,

I have a small issue.
I have a small project with a basic stamp BS2px and the serial servo control board.
Sometime when I run my code I need to press the reset button on the servo control board for the servos to go to their positions. When it happens it is always at startup. Once reset it runs fine.

Is there a way to reset the servo controller via the program or a way to set it up so it does not need to be reset?

Thanks

Try using a wait statement at the front of your code prior to sending the first command.

I did that and also sent a command at the beginning of the code to set the default baud rate of the PSC and it worked! Thanks.
