Custom 8 channel servo motor controller board
-->
Doing some robotics experiments or other automation tasks may require a good interface to computer. Why buy one if it can be built pretty easily. So here it is – an eight channel servo controller board with USB interface. This means that you can develop pretty complex mechanism with servos and run them via PC. It is based on ATmega168 microcontroller and FT232RL chip.
The project is homemade PCB with hand soldered SMD components. AVR microcontroller is programmed by using AVR-GCC compiler which is free and open source tool. Should be no problem to replicate the project and do some great stuff with servos.

I really found your post interesting so I added a trackback to it on my Track Hacker blog
