Re: Servo motors, software and Camtronics

Filipe,
I can't actually answer any of your questions. But I can offer my own
experiences. I have been a member of this list since very near it's
inception, and can't recall ANY negative comments about Camtronics. I
have also built several of Dan's boards, and found him to be very
helpful and prompt to answer questions. Of course, I don't know
anything about shipping to Europe. The closest thing to a negative is
that some have found his instructions a bit brief, (they are). But I
didn't have any problem, and I'm NOT a pro. I would give him an A+,
but I understand your position.

PS, 2-1? Could we hope for a draw?
