    I had no idea getting analog output from a servo was so easy. If you do this with a Canon camera running CHDK firmware you can use the USB port to control it from the microcontroller as well.

    Very nice. I notice the elbow's range of motion on playback is different (less) than was recorded, but that's likely a software calibration issue. Overall a great idea with lots of useful possibilities.
