[chbot] The next steps for my bot and control board.

[Michael Pearce]

Hi Carl,

I will be writing both Serial and RC Servo control functions 
as I will need the same for my R2 unit.

My servos arrive early next week, so cannot test until then.

Both functions may be interrupt driven (Not sure how the 
RTOS handles interrupts)

Any particular ports you want to use for the rc servo 
pulses?

Also what resolution are you looking for? 8/12/16 bit?

Mike
