Controlling servos using processing and standard firmata

I am working on a biped robot that I am running using Processing and servo firmata on an arduino uno.  This works fine and I have a decent walking gait.  I would like to include an accelerometer into the robot to give the robot more stability.  So I decided to switch over to standard firmata on the arduino so I can use the i/o.  The problem is that with the standard firmata none of the servos work eventhough the servo library is still included in the standard firmata.

10 seconds count down using Arduino

This is one of my 1st Arduino projects. Along with Arduino, I've used a seven segmeent led display and a piezzo buzzer. First, it beeps to indicate start. Then, counts down from 9 to 0, beeps three times. Finally, it beeps for the last time but this time the beep lasts longer.

Control an HK-20 ESC with arduino

I've been trying to control a brushless motor (EMAX CF2812) via ESC with arduino, but so far I've had limited sucess. I've managed to start the motor, but I can't seem to get reproducible results.

The first success I've got was by following the instructions here. From there I also got the following code:

Talk to my computer through Serial?

Long time no see LMR!!!!

This semester was my most brutal yet, but the rewards have been priceless!

 

Anyways, back to the robots,

So my current project is to create a virtual indentity that I can have a VERY simple conversation with. His name is Sergei, cause everyone needs an awesome Russian buddy. But I find myself being a bit stuck on one thing: Serial Communications

 

What Im really trying to better understand is how to make the Arduino respond to my serial input.
