serial servo controler

can anyone help me figure out how to make one of these . I am planning to use one for an upcomming mod.

i could think a few mods myself for that maybe one that opens the side of the case with a push of a button, or maybe the top of the case, sorta like a car hood. just some thoughts. but as far as making the servos, i dont know. i know that model planes (the big ones) use servos to control the rudder and such. maybe you could go to the hobby store and get a couple. i think you can connect that to a switch to work it... not sure.

Can easily do it with a PIC microcontroller In fact, my book at home has a simple servo circuit listed w/ code.

i have the servos already.what i need is a circuit to control 2 or 3 servos with software through the serial port. my bro is a programming guru so he can help me with the software. i just need the circuit.

oh and don't ask what for. its top secret

I have a Matrix Orbital LCD display in my pc which has 8 general output registers that can be turned on and off via software (you can write your own like I did if you want). They supply up to 750mA on the pins.

I have a few super bright leds in my case which I have flashing on a off, depending on the cpu usage & hdd usage. You might be able to control a servo with the LCD, but I'm not sure. I thought about it as I have some spare Remote Controller Car servo's but due to the high resitance in turning them, I decided they would probably blow my LCD so I skipped the idea.

I like this better, and its a smaller design.

Well if you're not gonna tell me what it's for, I'm NOT gonna tell you that you can find a schematic here, and I also wont tell you that you need a programmer for the PIC, which you can NOT find a schematic for here.

way to not tell him killorbe, hopefully he will crack soon...
