Ruby,

The default program is not all that bad really once you break it down a bit.

There is a bunch of 'house keeping' stuff at the beginning.

There is the main loop where almost all of your customization will go.

In addition to this there are a hand full of subroutines for doing stuff like reading from the switch inputs, outputting to the relays, and commuicating with the Serial Servo Controller (SSC -- it is the chip that creates the signals for the Tekins and the Victors). Most folks don't touch these parts of the code at all. I think we made one or two minor changes for reasons I can't recall right now, but basically, you can ignore this section until you feel up to it.

It is pretty simple once you look at it for a while.

Ask questions on this forum if you get stuck. Many experts are around to help.

Good Luck.
