Servo Control

I can use some help with a couple of items.

1) During the transfer of the code to the prop-1 the servo is driven to the 0 position and is under stress.  The servo being at the 0 position jams my prop.

2) In the Growl function the servo moves back and forth and equal amount.  The value of pos is alway correct.  However, the servo "creaps" durning this function.

Thanks

1) The Prop-1 goes into reset and all IOs are made inputs during downloading -- there is nothing that can be done about this other that disconnecting the servo connection while programming.

2) I don't know how to explain this because I've never seen it; the Prop-1 has a resonator which runs the its micro very accurately.  Do you have something mechanical that could become loose?
