Up Board - Accessibility Of Pinouts With ARC

Hi, I have a question concerning the Up Board (it is more and more difficult to resist to this one). Are the pinouts of the Up board accessible with ARC (like an EZB)? I have noticed that there is 40 of them, including UART, and it would be really cool if it was possible to connect the Roomba directly to the Up Board and control it with the the...

Adc Value To Servo Movement

Hi all. I am trying to get my ADC values to move a normal servo. In this project a potentiometer will move a normal servo as in if at 2.5v the servo is centre. If 0v it will move to 1 if 5v it will move to 50 and so on. Please bare in mind I do hard ware, coding even in this simple way is tough for me. Thanks all. Matt
