I'm starting down a similar path. My goal is to design a cape for
interfacing with bioloid servos. I'd like my cape to include power (so you
can use the bioloid wallwart or batteries), the appropriate UART-to-bioloid
bus conversion, and an I/O component (basically an ATMega168 which sits as
a device on the bioloid bus).

I found a neat article on creating a null cape. it's setup as a 4-part
series and has links to the SRM/TRM.
