Question On Soundservo(Pcspeaker)

Question on SoundServo(PcSpeaker) I am trying to use SoundServo(PcSpeaker), but no servo movement. The TalkServo and SoundMicrophone work fine.

Support For Gps In ARC And ARC Mobile?

Hello DJ, I noticed that there appears to have been support for GPS in previous versions of ARC but I dont see the control in the current version of EX-Builder. I have read some interesting threads about the Iphone data streamer app. Is there such a thing for the Android Phones? Will GPS be supported again in ARC? Thanks Much, Rick B.
