Hi
Is it control the speed controller is same as control the servo? I
am planning to buy a serial-port-to-servo controller, and use it to
control the speed controller.
thanks
from Peter(cmk128@hotmail.com)

    --Works for me, but be aware that you won't get feedback from the
motor you're driving, so there may be some tendency of the motor to coast
after signals to move it have stopped.

That depends on what interface your speed controller supports. It
must support the hobby servo signal interface. Check the
documentation that came with your speed controller.
