The other day I picked back up on a project I started a couple years back. I've been able to control my servos via a web page for many years, but also needed a way to get info back from the ssc-32 servo control board I got awhile back. I made a simple .exe file to go in my apache cgi-bin folder that gets info from the http query_string (GET request) sent via brouser, sends/receives info via the pc serial port, then has apache send the info back to the brouser (if there is info to send). The below link has the info, with the last post containing the most recent code. The code is somewhat crude but works with my ssc-32, and is easy to modify. I see a lot of people struggling in this forum with PHP, so this may be a simpler and easier alternative.
