Hi guys

  also, the ap. for the servo drive, you use 4015? I think the file is more
suitable for tinyv1.1 rather than v2.1  (apart from the ADC_0 for IR....I guess
)


  Anyway, I think I am at same position like you, not because I have to get it
fly, but I really want to get it work :)

  Good luck mate
