According to a Freshmeat.net announcement, a new version of the ServoMaster servo control software library has been released. Among other new features the software now includes support for the Polulu USB and serial servo controller boards. The library also supports the Scott Edwards SSC, FerretTronics FT639 and F649, and the PhidgetServo boards, as well as other PIC-based servo controller boards. The only downside for robotics users is that ServoMaster is written in Java which is not commonly used in robotics and relies on Sun's proprietary Java implementation. ServoMaster itself, however, is Free Software licensed under the GNU GPL.
