Andy, I don't think there's much more you can do to make it neater. If you create the filter object in your glade file you could get rid of the self.filt = gtk.FileFilter() and self.fb.add_filter(self.filt) calls, but then you'd need a builder.get_object('filter') before you'd be able to add y

Emc has pwmgen as a hal componant... Tecnically you could use the software pwmgen componant to generate pwm. I have run a rather large brushed servo as others have. Might be good for testing theories.. sam On Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:59:35 +0300 Viesturs L?cis wrote: > 2012/4/26 Gabriel Willen
