I'm looking at purchasing a AL5D, and am wondering if it's possible to control the arm via the USB connection, and if so, is there any documentation? I'm hoping to integrate it into a project where the control commands would be generated from a Python script running in a Linux environment.

USB to RS-232 adapter, RS-232 feeds SSC-32.

Looks like a serial port on the PC. Python can send ASCII strings via serial.
