Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro is more than a tool; it's a creative playground for robot enthusiasts, where you can turn your wildest ideas into reality.

The Talk servo Control? I'll take a look and see if anything had changed there. It hdn't been touched in a while.
Thank DJ. BTY, I uninstalled the older software version and install the new version 1215 2015 and it does Preevent the talk servocontrol from moving the servo thanks for looking in to this.
I concur with merne, the talk servo isn't working on my project either. When I first tried the new version it worked for a second or 2 and then the talk servo quit working. Reinstalling the previous version of ARC put it back to working again.
