Re: Arduino Micro with Talon SR

These are nitpicks ... (everyone's a critic )

Servo.writeMicroseconds() is a function in the Servo library, and not a substitute for that library.

And, I think the Talon has a max/min pulse range larger than 1500+/-500.

Read the Talon's fine manuals (easily found using a Google search) to see wiring and pulse range information.

FYI: I'm using an Edison Arduino in a project, and having pretty good luck so far. I have worked around the one WiFi bug that was giving me trouble, and I don't have any other show-stoppers on the horizon (yet). At about $100, it gives you built-in WiFi, and a lot of computing bang for your buck, in situations where Arduino-style I/O is useful. Consider using one in your next project....
