I need help to control 6 servo motors via serial USB, so I need to make a application for a windows 11. If you guys know anything about this plz help, I really need this for my school project. Also I'm using a Arduino Uno.

Pololu has serially controlled servo drivers.

Check out https://processing.org/

Works well with Arduino, simple to interface just using your PC keyboard to input commands to Arduino very similar to using the Arduino serial monitor.

Your Arduino code might look something like this:

  if (Serial.available() > 0) {

    char in = Serial.read();
    if (in == 'e')  {
      // some servo command;
    }
    else if (in == 'a')  {
      // some some other servo command;
    }
    else if (in == '+') {
      // increment servo one way up to 180;
    }
    else if (in == '-') {
      // decrement servo other way up to 0;
    }
  }

and the Processing code to send chars to Arduino might look something like:

if (keyPressed) {
if  ((key == 'e') ||(key == 'E')){ 
 myPort.write('e');
   }
 }

Thanks for your, Ill check on it.
