Servos came on the weekend. Been trying to teach myself Objective-C for the iOS since everyone is asking me if I program for the iPhone and/or iPad. Guess it's time to learn. I am aiming to have the servo sign through the alphabet with toothpicks since I have not made flags yet. Next step will be making the flags.

Edit, these are not the servos I thought they were. They are contiguous and not wide arc so this might be delayed or very complicated. They are not very accurate so what might be a quarter turn on way does not equal the next quarter turn.

Sparkfun

Next project set and waiting for the parts. I need 360 degree servo motors so I ordered a set from Sparkfun and well as a XBee breakout board to make my life easier when I get back to play with radios. The servos should arrive soon. I am hoping to have a video of the test within a week. I'll publish the code at well.
