After much fiddling I decided to change over to BASIC. Which is a lot easier to program in. 

I added the Mini SSC II Mode jumper

I changed the baud to T9600

I powered the servo from its own lab power supply.

I powered the Pololu off the SX Tech Vdd and Vss

and it works.!

But it seams to only work for about 2min and then crashes with the pololu going dead, No led nothing. ANy ideas on why this is so?
