Some commercial motor controller boards come with driver software.
I dont
know if any ofthe the various university Robotics labs have come
up with
any standard for interfacing to a Stamp or other such Robot
controller
board. It would certainly save alot of trouble. I assume you are
workingg
on a PC rather than a MAC. Is this correct? I do want to develop
such a
beast for the MAC but havent decided on which port to use.
ADB(serial), SCSI(parallel), EtherNET(Serial).
Scott - What is your EMAIL address it bounced back?
