Serial problem between BasicStamp code and PBP code

[AllanZilkowsky]

Problem solved. Added PAUSE 5 after each command sent in intialize subs setup: setpulse: setheader: and setactive: and works like a charm. Going to have a glass of wine. My guess is that in the BasicStamp code the interpreter takes a while but the PIC code needs no interpretation and therefore executes faster which was to fast for the FT639. By giving the chip time before the next instruction works. Thanks to all who tried to help. Much appreciated.

glad you got it to work .
the pan_and_tilt2 as posted still looks wrong to me the moves should look like this

move1:
Lbyte = (position1 & %00001111) 'servo 0 + lownib
Hbyte = %10000000 |( (position1 & %11110000)>>4) 'servo 0 + highnib
SEROUT2 serial_out,baud1,[Lbyte,Hbyte] 'send command to FT639
PAUSE 100
RETURN

You are correct. I modified the code to the following a few days ago.
Move1:
interim = position1 & %00001111
Lbyte = interim | %00000000
interim = position1 & %11110000
Hbyte = (interim >> 4) | %10000000

Your's look more compact I think I will change mine. Thanks. I'm learning.
