Software for
controlling servos via a joystick. In my animatronics and
RPV work I have found no really versatile servo controller that anticipated "man
in the loop". Seems like everything out there is devoted to sound track to
sequences of motions. This will be released in an 'almost' fully functional demo
form by the end of February 2005 (limited time operation and no configuration
file save capability). The fully operational version will be about a week behind
it.
It'll run about $25
for electronic delivery available on line only.
