Ir/Serial Codes How-To

I've spent about 2 hours digging thru the community and some threads and such and can't find what I'm looking for.

Need Some Shipping Relief

I'd love to buy some jumpers from the online store here. I popped em in my cart and started the checkout. Shipping was over $21USD. For a $9 item that weighs nothing. So I can't buy them. These shipping costs prohibit me from spending my money here. Any word on boosting your Amazon presence? Your distributors don't seem to carry your full product...

What should I know before posting an EZ-B compatible library to github? Are there any obvious license gotchas the community is aware of? I have been working on a little Clojure library that speaks the EZ-B protocol. (I may eventually try to bring it up on the board directly, but I suspect the top-level APIs will remain the same.)

Check The Arms Like An Excavator

If I control the arms with the Servopad, everything is too rude for me. Has anyone ever driven an excavator? If you move the joystick slightly in one direction, The arm moves continuously slowly in the direction. If you move the joystick strongly in one direction, The arm moves continuously rapidly in one direction. For my robot I would like...
