Hi, I want to control SSC-32 from an IExplorer runing in IIS Windows XP (the serial is in the same server, not internet conection). Has anybody tried it? How can I do it?
If I understand you correctly, and you want to control your robot (or whatever is connected to the SSC-32) from within a web browser, your best bet is probably to create a Java applet .
There may be other ways (like CGI perhaps), but I know it can be done with Java.

controlling a robotic arm from a web page is what I’m trying to do. I have 0 java’s experience but could try. do you have any link with more info? Calling the SSC-32 from an ASP page would be my ideal. Thanks for the reply !
I have never worked with ASP, but if it is able to run/connect with VB.Net programs (as I seem to recall hearing that it can), then you can probably do it with VB.Net as well.
One of my projects is a Java based servo control suite. It might be possible for me to convert it to an applet, but that is not high on my list of priorities right now.
Beyond that, sorry I cannot help you more. I have done very little internet programming, and what I have done is all in Java.

You can do it with any of the framework 2 .net languages via ASP. If you want the code to do anything between web requests than if you’re not familiar with it, read up on multithreading in .net.
You probably easily control the ssc-32 via a web page. I don’t have a ssc-32, but I have two other servo controllers that operate servo based web cam pan/tilt setups. I use the apache web server and use batch files in a cgi setup to control the servos. Below are some pages I have using this type of setup for webcams. You pretty much just use notepad for programming.
