Need Help To Setup Full Serial Interface Without Using I2c

Another posting brought up the request for ARC based interfacing to Aurdino boards. Understandably it is not going to happen as they require their own not-so-ez-programming. I still feel that full interfacing of the EZ-B to all other electronic devices can be beneficial, regardless of said devices origin, LED, sensor or another micro-controller....

Can I Modify Movement Panel Configuration Via Joystick Buttons?

I am attempting to have the EZ-B control the OWI-535 arm. There is only one movement panel allowed. This should be fine provided I can reconfigure the movement panel with the script triggered by a joystick button down script. Is this possible?

question

Sound Servo And Leds

Hello everybody, been awhile since I posted. I'm not home so I cant try this out. Do you think it is possible to have an LED connected to a digital port with Sound servo connected to this port, then as the channel is activated by voice/sound, that changes the brightness of the LED? Is PWM better for LEDs? But there is no Sound PWM command :/...
question

Servos Possessed? (Noob)

I ran the servo alignment script. I changed some of the numbers from 50 to 1 and then 100. One servo seemed to be vibrating after I ran the script. Another one moved back and forth repeatedly indefinitely. I set the numbers back to 50 and ran the script again which seemed to exorcise the demons. What's up with that?
