I have noticed that some of you prefer Java and it is my favorite language as well at the moment. So I'm thinkig about writing a JNI-wrapper for the Dimax U2C library. Has someone done something in this direction yet?
It shouldn't be to complicated because the U2C comes with all the source code and a VB API.

I haven't seen Java wrappers for the Dimax, but I would encourage you to send an email asking this question to their technical support team. They may know of such a wrapper which could save you some time. I have found their technical support to be very helpful and friendly when I ran into some issues two months ago.

Ok, they don't know of such a wrapper but agree that it should be easy to implement.
But they are friendly and answer very quickly. Good service!

So I now start with the implementation of a wrapper.

And here it is:

I think it's pretty straightforward to use, but feel free to leave your questions here.

Thanks Mike, for putting it on the cvs.

Stefan, thanks for putting this together. If you have time between your studies I think it would be terrific if you could add the I2C low level routines as well. I believe these would likely be needed to communicate using Andy's checksum protocol he added to the servo.
