It's not enough to get any reliable data. You really can get only rough

Wow! You have done a lot of integral things on the Motoman! I recently wrote a website interface for the Motoman XRC for my final year project.I used a Barionet automation device (www.barix.com) that can run it's own code and has a serial port interface. Took me a while to get the communication going!I was wondering: why don't you try and use the accelerometer of the Wiimote to move the motoman

> You are using a Turbo Function card or similar?Yes. I thought that nobody else really knows what it is. I was really tired with compiling software for Turbo card on old windows. So I moved the compiler stack to Linux.The Turbo card has "realtime mode", so you can control a robot in dynamic way.If you have the Turbo card and if the card is similar to ours, I'd be happy to help you.Try to catch

You are using a Turbo Function card or similar? The reason I ask is that I am a PhD student in Australia, and I have access to a Motoman arm with an NX100 controller. I want true real-time control and I don't want to do it with Windows (I'm a Linux programmer more than a Windows one!).

That is pretty cool. I am interested to know what the interface between the robot and the computers is; is it serial? And are you able to control the robot from a Linux box?
