    Smile I think you're on to it!

    Skimask - Thanks for the info - this would explain why I have been able to do this task on other chips - I have always been using a 20 mHz resonator. This is the first time that I am not. I'll try this out and post my results.
    Thanks again!

    Skimask - Your info worked perfectly. My pot-controlled servo is now working just fine! Thanks for your help!!!

    Here is my updated code:

    @ DEVICE pic16F676, INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT

    CMCON = 7
    ANSEL = %00000000 ' Turn off analog input
    TRISC = %00000001

    RCVal var Word
    Posit var word

    PotIn var PORTC.0
    Servo var PORTC.3

    low servo

    MoveServo:
    gosub readpot

    'produce a value between 75 and 255 when running at 4 mhz
    posit = 75 + rcval + (rcval / 2)

    'produce a value between 350 and 950 when running at 20 mhz
    'Posit = 350 + RCVAL

    PULSOUT Servo, posit ' move the servo
    pause 25
    goto MoveServo

    ReadPot:
    'At 4 mhz, returns 0-120. At 20 mhz, returns 0-600
    ' with a 10K pot and 0.1 uf cap
    high potin
    pause 1
    rctime potin, 1, rcval
    return

    End

    Default

    I think I'd change your 'Pause 25' to something a bit lower.
    Servo's want to be updated at about 50-60hz. You've got it set up for no more than 37hz update rate (pause 25 + 1ms minimum pot read + 1ms minimum pulsout).
    I'd put it somewhere around Pause 14 or so...to give a minimum of 50hz.
