So I didn't make too much progress last week, but Wednesday, the servos came in the mail!
I got them hooked up and was able to get them to interface correctly with the arduino. The servos communicate at full duplex but the arduino is only capable of half duplex via UART, therefore a tri-state buffer was required. The servos are also require 7-12V so I needed a way to power them separately from the arduino. An arduino can be powered at a this voltage as well, but it will be easier down the line to have it running on 3.3 or 5V.
I didn't do much more than get the servos to move last week, but hey... its better than nothing.
