pls help with tis PS3 controller problem!!!!

This is really tough......

i had always interested in servo & PWM projects so 1 fine day i decided to try controlling a servo motor with my PS3 controller. My original idea was to write a program in C++ to extract the controller signal from the computer (yes is computer & not from bluetooth! i've done the bluetooth interface with computer part hence just getting the controller signal from computer will do) and pass the signal through the RS-232 serial port and to a PIC 16f84 chip to control the servo in a real-time pattern (for example, when i move the analog control of PS3 controller, the servo will move accordingly) Sounds easy?

i know, by downloading drivers from the internet would easily solve the problem but writing a program from scratch is really a big headache......

After trying for about 2 & a half month i give up......

Has anybody out there already done similar things? As a electronic fan u should understand the feeling of curiosity torturing when u want to experiment something but......

can somebody kindly enlighten me? or recommend me something? a circuit or program etc......

pls help! thank you thank you !!

    If you have specific questions about the Basic Stamp that would go here. General questions go in the Sandbox forum and in either case they should be related to some aspect of Parallax products and contain much more detail than you have included.
