i would like to use the RF-KLP-315 to remotely control 2 servos from my pc.

is it possible to connect the transmitter directly to serial/parallel port?
and the receiver to servo.

will i need to use filtering in the receiver side such as 555 timer (servo is square wave) ?

will in need a pic/avr in the transmitter side? if so can i have more details?


will this do it say i connect this http://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0207/ to the pc and instead of conecting the servos conect the signal to the transmitter


any other info about what im up against will be great
thx,

That Pololu product says it has an RS232 (serial data) compatible interface to a PC. With the right connector (DB9), it should just plug in.

If you want to go wireless, IMO, the easiest way would be with a pair of Maxstream XBee modules at $19ea or the $35 XBeePro. No software - they just extend a serial port wirelessly to any number of mobile nodes.
