Scott Edwards has a DLL available for downloading
(http://www.seetron.com/sscdll.zip) that sounds like it can drive the servos
better then my code. Only problem, he doesn't include a .LIB or .H file to
use it with C/C++. He provides a VB sample, however, I do not have VB
installed, and have invested much time and effort into my C++ code (which by
the way I've added to my site for people to grab).

I'm trying to figure out a way to use the .dll with C++. Somehow I need to
use the right combination of dumpbin, lib, and a .def file to create the
.lib file that will allow me to link against his library, but so far I'm
stumped.

Anybody done this before?
