I should add, that the motor control numbers being logged from the control code look reasonable. The code writes the motor control string to both the microcontroller and to STDOUT (the terminal). I haven't (and won't) pick up a gizmo with whirling blades. I can pick up the bird and rotate it around various axes and watch the motor control string change. -- David Masten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- David Masten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
