Digital Vs Analog Servos
Hello, Can i plug in an analog servo into one of the digital ports? I ask because there are way more digital ports than analog ports. I know an analog ir sensor and a ping sensor are for the analog ports only, right? I want to buy analog servos cuz they are way cheaper, but there are only 9 analog ports. Thanks. Carlos.

ARC Script Interface And Serial Communications
I am liking the interface that we now have with ARC ALOT. Well done DJ! I am able to control ARC with an outside python program which is awesome for my projects. What I am realizing is that within ARC there are few 'GET' type functions available. For example, you cannot get the state of a Digital port without a control (at least from what I have...
