You just plug a light into it, go away for some tea and cake, and come back to a screen full of results. Of course you also need a controller for the motors and servos.There are a few widgets around which allow this sort of interface, the various Bee things would do the jobs for a Windows box, so long as you don't mind writing the code to talk to the C DLL they supply. I'm sure there are similar things for Linux.Are you sure that would work? It just seems too simple.
