Thanks Steen,
So while I muddle around in C# I can also look at VB/Processing as it seems more wysiwyg. The examples at that link I posted doesn't show reversible DC motor or servo control. They do though seem capable of giving me feedback on the light dependant resistor's change when either lamp is on, and, the outputs seem to have adaquate indication that I've asked a relay or two to turn on those lamps. Is there a reversible motor control in the VB library?
