I've got 33 shiftbrites working great so-far. The problem with VSA is that it will only supply 8 bits on a parallel port (using their LPT byte mode). So without another device in between the servo controller and the shiftbrites to decode the servo data (Arduino...) you can't. It would be nice to do it without another device and not have to pay extra and do coding for BlinkMs. I hope the documentation will be here soon.
VSA sorely needs some fresh code and a newer gui to match.
Maybe Garrett can work with the VSA folks (Jon) and get a new driver mode going?
