As I told before, my crafting skills are poor.
So, to have some practics, I going to make poker-device from my cartesian robot. It's lokks quite simple, as far as I have old but still working poker-working unit.
All I need is attach it to robot and provide all this with appropriate software. I don't yet know if this software alredy maked or I should make it by myself.

Look at emc, a realtime linux based machine controller.
[www.linuxcnc.org]
It will be easy if your robot is controlled by a parallel port, with a simple protocol like "wire 1 (HI/LO) indicates (+X/-X) direction for the x-axis, wire 2 pulses mean move one step on X, etc."
If your robot requires something more complicated, you may be able to get emc to do it.

I think there are some people doing work with usb and emc, but we went with a java-based driver in order to run on anything.
If it was just you or me doing this, it would probably be in C using the parallel port in linux. Since we want most of the world using these machines, we need to make compromises.
