Excuse me while I figure out how to post...

Trying to learn MRL, I have services running and am able to move servos, but having a hard time getting the limits inside the module scripts to save. Looks like I have to release each service separately in order to save?

What is the proper way to exit MRL and save?

Hi Artemus...

Servo limits are set when you launch your script...

Insert this in your python script :

yourservoname.setMinMax(30,70)

This will set your limits...

Check the example in this page :

OK I have my answer, thank you! I was expecting limits to be stored in some kind of module once and not have to re-enter them anytime you use a new script.

I have to be very careful, I have already burned out 2 big servos by not paying attention .

For shutting down MRL, I see now that it does not matter if it is just closed in the middle of running a script, because it does not write to any files. I have had it freeze up and was worried about just closing it.

I think it freezes up when the servo hits its mechanical limits and the extra current pulls down the power supply voltage.
