Hi Isaac, You might be interested in PyMite - http://python.fyxm.net/pycon/papers/pymite/ although I don't know much (anythin? :-) about it. For on board control there are some tiny embedded computers out there that can run Linux etc. (and hence Python) these days - e.g. see http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8498487406.html or you could use a much simpler processor such as a PIC to implement a simple serial port to dgital and analogue IO module. Either way, plent to do :-) Cheers, cds -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
