Sharp Gp2d12 Sensor

I'm having a blast with my EZ-Robot kit. I need to know how to hook up the Sharp GP2D12 sensor to the EZ board. I mounted this sensor at the bottom of my Wall-e pointing to the floor. My grandson lives in a two story house and I haven't taught Wall-e to climb or go down stairs yet (yea right), so this is to prevent him from doing so. As he...

Ez-B V3 Board.. 2Layers?

Is the EZ-B board a two layer board or a multilayer board? I think I need to cut the corners off to fit it in a project i'm working on. I'm worried that I may short out any layers that may between the top & bottom. Probably have to remove the power jack and relocate the Blue led, but it should be do-able. Looks to be two layer! drwass2

I have tried grouping all of the ServoSpeed() commands at the top of my script and using them right before each Servo() command without any change. I am using a mix of the Hitec analog/digital and the Futaba 3003 (included in the ez-b kit)...
