    Controlling servos direct from SIOC?

    Checking around these forums I got the impression that you can have an SIOC variable feeding numbers directly to a servo via the servo I/O card. Is this correct? If so, then what is the purpose of the controlador program? That seems like a slick way to do it...link a variable to a servo, then populate that variable with the 1-1022 servo positions. Or am I over simplifying this?

    I don't have a servo card yet, otherwise I'd just try it for myself.

    Re: Controlling servos direct from SIOC?

    With the USB servo card it is almost that simple! The controlador software was written for using the master card to control the servo before the USB Servo card came out. I use multiple servo cards in my sim with great success. Not the best but well worth the price.

    Almost that simple...so what step am I missing?
    I'm really chomping at the bit to start messing with this, but my servo card's been 3 weeks in the mail now and counting. Hope it's just the bottleneck of scanning US inbound mail and not lost somewhere.
