Well i tried a few different api's until i got one to actually work on windows and linux. i can't remember which one i used. My computer that had all that stuff on it had an accident with some ati drivers last night so i have had to revert back to intrepid and with that i don't have .... long story short i can't open the eclipse workspace files at the moment to see what api i actually used.

The big issue with the java api was trying to send the "0x00". you think its sent it properly but nothing worked with the servo controller. so i plugged 2 ftdi cables into each other and worked out that every time that i sent a "0x00" it turned everything after it to garbage. If you have a fix that would be great!

The other thing with java is that there is no such unsigned variables. so when you are trying to send anything higher than 127 you have to use an int. DUMB!

anyway....

Could you elaborate on that?
What implementation of the javacomm-API did you use?
