I have decided to change my mind and go with the Lynxmotion servo controller instead of the one from Pololu. I don't feel like taking the time to re-invent the wheel just because I need to have the system work on a couple of different processors. The Lynxmotion SSC-32 is a bit larger than the Pololu Maestro but I think the open functionality will make it more worthwhile. The Pololu is not wrong in and of itself, there was a design decision made and it does not fit with what I am doing. I want a drop in and play device. I will make my own set of classes to deal with the servo control but I don't want to have to re-do an interface package just to work with my robots.

Ok Altering the Servo Controller To Save Time
