    Hi Shawn,

    If the program is written for PicBasicPro then using PicBasic will not do the same thing. The "Pro" version is actually an upgrade ($250.00US) to the program you have. There's a big difference. I think I have that same book but because we are redoing my office right now I can't get to that box. Considering what you are wanting to do you may want to consider the upgrade. I'm sure later today there will be someone that might possibly be able to convert the program for you back to PicBasic. John Iovine also has a book on programming PICs that has both PBC and PBPro programs.

    Hope some of this helps!

    Hi again Shawn,

    What luck! I stepped back into a corner and the first box I opened had the robotics book right on top. Anyway, looking at the pictures there appears to be a circuit board made by Images SI, Inc. After checking their site, www.imagesco.com, I see they have numerous kits available along with the programmed PIC that will save you alot of hassle if you haven't done any of this stuff before. This IS the great way to learn how to use these chips. The also have tutorials available online for free. I also saw several other models allowing for more than one servo along with a PC interface and windows based software. Check them out.

    You should also check out some of the other suppliers listed in the back of the book.

    Best of luck to you and hope you enjoy working with PICs as much as I have.

    BobK
