MeArm by me

This is my MeArm. I built it in an afternoon, but took 3 weeks to get a controller up and going.

I decided to put a 4 servo controller onto the base that accepts serial data from a "master" controller and then uses that to control the servos. (thats what took me most of the 3 weeks)  In this way the "master" controller can be anything that can output serial data at 9600 baud, the master controller can then handle all the "thinking" stuff like inverse kinematics, replay and the like.

The "master" (Dr Who anyone?) for testing was actually a lucky find, I tipped out my stuff box and the controller analouge stick bard was in the pile, I was too lazy to desolder the joystics when I took apart the controller and now I am glad since I just had to connect my pic to the pads on the board.

I have included the code for the servo controller since I could not find anything like that on the net and mayne it can be of use to someone.
