I bought Parallax Servo Controller, USB # 28823.

I want to use this equipment to control a robot arm.

After solving inverse kinematic equations, I would like to transfer the proper data

to servo controller.

How can I do that?? Give me some advice. Thank you.

    The Parallax USB Servo Controller should look to the computer like a serial port.
    So, using the PSC docs, you can see how to control each servo -- send each servo to a particular angle. Some experimentation may be needed by you to translate the 'pulse width' signal for each servo into an angle setting.

    Now, the "inverse kinematic equations" should give you a result that specifies the desired new angle of each joint. But I can't help you with that part.
