Remember the iBook robot?
Does anyone remember when MacAddict made an iBook robot?. They used an USB controller for the motors that I can't find anywhere. If anyone remembers which MacAddict the "How To" came in I'd be very grateful. Or even better if anyone remembers or knows of a stepper motor controller I can use with a Mac. Please help!!!.

Re: Remember the iBook robot?
I still have all my old MacAddict issues, but i don't really feel like digging thru all of them. If someone can narrow it down to a specific year, i'll look thru that year for the article for ya.

IIRC, they used a USB/ADB adapter (or was it serial?).
So, a lego NXT kit won't cut it for you?
