I'm in the process of playing around with R/C hobby servos and am experiencing servo jittering. This it seems, from various threads, that it is a common problem.
One thread I happened across indicated by IronJungle (back in 2011) that one program worked fine with PE 5.3.6, no jitter, but had jitter with (at that time) PE 5.4.3 (no changes having been made to the code or circuit board, etc.; only the Editor version). Also on that thread, Technical indicated that there had been no change in the compiler code used - but the original writer was adamant (post #34) about the PE version being the only change. https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/robot-hand-suddenly-has-the-jitters.20023/
Is it possible that a copy of PE 5.3.6 and its then associated compiler version is available anywhere so that I can give it a try on my project? It might save me an awful lot of head scratching and coding changes only to find that even with the latest PE 6 (& latest compiler) the problem has not been reversed to that as seen/used in PE 5.3.6. I've done a Google search and came up with a version 5.5.5 as the earliest available from Software Informer.
I hope someone out there can dig out an original version of PE 5.3.6, simply for me to prove to myself whether it is the PE/compiler or not or simply something in my (standard from examples) coding/circuit layout/whatever.
Thanks in anticipation.
