servo not working

Hi

I cannot seem to get the servo working using logicator. On page 18 in the manual it shows the command sequence, which I do not understand.

My servo command is a leaning rectangle box ( maybe because the program has being updated?), and which commands have the A=75 in it?

I dont need to use variables at this stage. I only want the servo to go near one end and then the other.

please help

To get a servo moving use these 4 commands in a loop.
Select the correct output pin as required within the servo cell (slanting is correct in later versions).

wait 5
servo pin, 100
wait 5
servo pin, 200
 
Thanks for the reply

I can get the servo working using basic, it works well.
I decided to use logicator for the entire project. I have the program all completed and seems to simulate correctly. All except the servos.
I even tried copying the basic code and inserting it into a logicator BASIC cell. It didnt work.

I sure that logicator can do it, the manual just doesn't explain it.
I'm currently looking for other logicator manuals that might explain it better

Also the lead I use to download the picaxe is a serial lead from my desktop. It works perfect when using PPE. The logicator book only talks about the USB cable. Could this be an issue?

There is a servo flowchart shape in Logicator. Simply drag out 4 cells: servo - wait - servo - wait and loop them together.

If you have already done this please clarify exactly what 'doesn't work'.
 
Thanks for the reply

I tried the logicator servo program on a T4 training board. It worked perfectly, so therefore it must be something to do with the board I made up
