You can currently control one bipolar stepper motor with the Serializer. :)

Would like to see a stepper motor control.

I see no reason why we couldn't add that! We really should add support for all of the Sharp IR sensors. I'm working on adding support for the new Sharp GP2Y0A700K0F right now.
I don't know if you've seen it, but we have the generic I2C commands built into the Serializer firmware and an I2CDevice object to use it in the .NET Lib. We did this so that customers could use their I2C device with the Serializer, without having to wait on us to release a new library or firmware to support that sensor. So, you can take advantage of the I2CDevice object in the .NET lib to talk to the Devantech MD23. :) If you need some help figuring out the sequence of bytes, we can help out their too.

There's some useful user documentation for the I2CDevice object on the Serializer .NET Lib User Documentation page. It's located under the Senors->I2CDevice namespace (on the "Example Source Code" Topic page).

Best Regards!

For whatever it is worth, here are a couple things I'd like to see in a future Serializer.NET (and Robotics Studio) release:

1. A class for the Sharp GP2Y0A02YK infrared sensor (8-60").

2. A class for the Devontech MD23 (I2C H-Bridge).
