It will depend on what Motor Controller board and what Servo Controller board you are using. That will be what a particular module will talk to. A PC cannot directly control a motor or servo (unless you want to try to do this with an old style parallel port ... not recommended!).

I'd also suggest reading up a bit more on how you control these devices from a PC. It seems that you are not familiar with the control system for robots. Here are two sites worth looking at that may help
