To work on Carnot, I decided to go into .Net and create a web server that responds to my serial commands. It's a simple .exe that takes a serial input on the command line and it works great for the SSC (Scott Edwards Servo Controller).

I am going to talk about accessing the serial port via Java or via an HTTP/Serial Bridge. Accessing serial ports is the preferred method of communication to microcontrollers like the Basic Stamp 2, or Arduino.
