Hey guys.
I have built my circuit for controlling the webcam using PICAXE however im now stuck at the point where i want to control its movements of up down left and right (via two servos) by pressing the corresponding buttons on a form....
Anyone have any ideas where they can point me in the correct direction?
Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex,
For this kind of project (controlling external hardware) you start by studying the interface available to "talk" to that hardware. It could be serial port, parallel port (you may know it as printer port), or other kind of interface. After you know the interface you should use, you will know what library to be used to issue commands or read feedbacks. After that you need to know the details of commands and feedback so you could communicate properly with the hardware. If you're the one who built the hardware then it is up to you, otherwise you must consult the technical reference from the manufacturer.
Cheers!
