ok - while i wait for my ebay servos to turn up i have a couple of queries regarding SERVO use.
What i'm building is an automated programmer for chips - initially a special purpose chip for which i have already written a vb.net app to program single chips with - but I'm keen to expand it later to do PICAXE chips once i get the 'bot working!.
I have a LOT of chips to program and have really got other things to do as well - so this looked a good idea...time will tell!
Platform is a hacked inkjet printer - just using the head transport bascially to which i am attaching a short throw "z" axis slide controlled by a servo arm.
A number of other servo's and motors run the rest of the feeder and programming socket locks.
My inspiration came from this:

Anyway - my servo queries!
From reading the manual is it correct to assume once a servo is initialised (SERVO command) it STAYS in the set position until moved with SERVOPOS?
Is is correct that I can run up to 8 servos of a 28x1 - each in different positions?
Bacially i need to sequence a number of mechanical movements to get this thing to work!
Even playing with old "vibe" motors from mobile phones for my "vibratory feeder" tube.
I'll post pics as this comes together...
Cheers
