When you add code to an event of a button, or a Windows.Forms.Timer, they use the GUI thread. For things like pausing and stuff usually requires multi-threading. However, it's not the easiest to learn - so a good hack is to use this function i created for you:


    private void Sleep(int milliSeconds) {

      if (milliSeconds < 100) 
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(milliSeconds);
       else
        for (int x = 0; x < milliSeconds / 100; x++) {

          System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
          Application.DoEvents();
        }
    }

Wow , that's slot of servos. No sensors?

I bet edison's loving the Auto Position feature with that project. I'll be doing the same with the robophilo Sr, six servos per leg, three per arm plus neck and waist movement. The i2c is still available, I'm planning on using the MMA7455 accelerometer on that:) it would be awesome to write an "auto-stand" script to make him release all the servos on the way down when he falls, then automatically stand back up:) The Alderbaran NAO does that already, but I'm not spending $16k lol
