Has anyone tried to directly connect a servo controller to a pc?

CJ

Hello, I just had an odd thought, Would it be possible to connect a servo controller to a PC using the BS1 serial adapter, and just send commands from software on the PC?, if not, then the BS2 would be a capable interface anyway, just a thought.

The Parallax Servo Controller is controllable via serial, I believe Jon is working on a PC application to directly contol the PSC.
