Well wish it were that simple...INTERFACING
I don't know what type of servo motors you are using, but the
average stepper motor is driven by a unit called an indexer.
Usually the indexer drives (provides sufficient voltage and current)
the servor and a microcontroller such as the picks can be used to
provide the control logic.
Some rudimentary circuits can be used to replace an indexer, such as using
a power transistor and a diode. The transistor is used as a buffer and
a current source for the motor the diode is used to protect the stamp
from sinking too much current. This schema is mostly used to power small
motors when the power requirements go to high, this approach becomes
problematic.
Hope this helps, if you would like more help let me know and I can
send you a schematic.
