Hey, I recently puchased the PSC (USB version) to control upper torso humanoid robot I just built.· Right now the hardware consists of a video camera and 12 servos, but I will be adding more in the near future.· I also bought a seperate PC just to control the robot.· I built this robot in hopes of doing some experimentation with AI, but unfortunately I don't know much about computer programming.· I've been looking for graphical servo controlling software that I can loop and would respond to inputs from sensors.· Any recommendations on controlling these servos in response to input from sensors, throught my PC and the PSC would be greatly appreciated.· Thanks in advance.

    Well, VB isn't very hard to learn, and I'm sure that with a little practice and viewing such sites as http://vbforums.com, you could get the hang of it very quickly. There's a company called LearnKey that produces very good tutorial CD's for all types of computer topics, VB programming being one of them. There's a control called MSComm32 in VB that allows you to read and write to your COM ports.

    Good luck!
