Re: [BasicX] Re: Serial communication problem

My money is on Load Induced Processor Resets, too.

separate supply for heavy dynamic loads like servos and motors is a good
idea.

Well yes, i use a RAMB II so it should be ok. But even if it were re-booting surly the servo's shouldnt move because of the variables start of value of 0....
