Serial Host up and running

Worked on getting serialhost up and running.

It will probably be off most of the time to avoid having people screw things up in my office etc.

I had the change the ip address, and strip most of the old crap from the buttons. The left/right turret movement is now via a hacked servo controller wired into the original turret motor. This means I can't give it absolute positions anymore, only relative movements.
I could get absolute values by attaching the servo's pot to the turrent somehow, but that would leave me with only 255 movement positions and over a 300^ arc, that kinda sucks.

Here is what the setup looks like right now, its all very temorary.




Here is a closeup of the workings. You can click the image for a larger version.
