Plus, at the moment it's heading towards being remotely controlled vehicle rather than a full on robot. I think I want to at least understand the wheel... The Java looks like it might have been a red herring BTW - I'm knuckling down and taking the time to learn VC. Each to their own - at the moment I want the fun of the interface bit.

Presumably this is the start of a Trundle II control app? Why not use <a href="http://pyrorobotics.org/" rel="nofollow">PyRo</a>, or any one of the many bits of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_software#Robotics_Software_Projects" rel="nofollow">robot control software out there</a>? No sense reinventing the wheel when it comes to control I/O. Unless of course you're interested in wheel design - but that leaves less time to spend playing with it's BRAIN, which is clearly the fun bit :) So….
