Did a quick test

- I made a cable to run my FTDI adapter direct to the SSC-32 serial port
- Hook to a Putty serial screen and it the servo respond to commands

Two things to check.

Baud rate to ssc32: should be set to 38400

Code may be configured to output binary mode. If ssc does not support, there is a define named something like binarymode, comment it out...

Baud Rate is check and confirm (since in serial command i am in 38400)
How do i know if my SSC support binay ? (i can upgrade that ?) (ver: SSC32-V2.03XE)

Did a test with that commented
But don't look to be working that way too.

Code:
//#define   cSSC_BINARYMODE   1         // Define if your SSC-32 card supports binary mode.


In a serial windows i have the "Rd" going and going

Here is a picture of the SSC-32

Here is a video of the SSC-32 connected with Lynxterm with my FTDI adapter.
It look that one of my servo don't like too fast refresh... :(

Now I have my computer on...

First to enable/disable Binary mode: the configuration option is:
Code:
#define   cSSC_BINARYMODE   1


Binary mode was added to some later versions of the firmware. It is not there by default. You can download and install a version from the SSS-32 product page: http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-395-ssc-32- ... oller.aspx

Look for the ones that have EGP at the end of their name.

Kurt

P.S. - If I were you I would simply undo the define above and see if it starts to work

OK... found my bad...

There is two identical define

Quote:
// NOW split up the two global configurations...
//==================================================================================================================================
//==================================================================================================================================
//==================================================================================================================================
// Kurts THR4 with SSC-32 - Can be several different processors configured here.
//==================================================================================================================================
#ifdef DBGSerial
#define OPT_TERMINAL_MONITOR // Only allow this to be defined if we have a debug serial port
#endif

#ifdef OPT_TERMINAL_MONITOR
//#define OPT_SSC_FORWARDER // only useful if terminal monitor is enabled
#define OPT_FIND_SERVO_OFFSETS // Only useful if terminal monitor is enabled
#endif

#define OPT_GPPLAYER

#define USE_SSC32
//#define cSSC_BINARYMODE 1 // Define if your SSC-32 card supports binary mode.

// Debug options
//#define DEBUG_IOPINS // used to control if we are going to use IO pins for debug support

//==================================================================================================================================
//==================================================================================================================================
//==================================================================================================================================
// CHR-3
//==================================================================================================================================
#define USE_SSC32
//#define cSSC_BINARYMODE 1 // Define if your SSC-32 card supports binary mode.

//[SERIAL CONNECTIONS]


// Warning I will undefine some components as the non-megas don't have enough memory...
//#undef OPT_FIND_SERVO_OFFSETS

#define cSSC_BAUD 38400 //SSC32 BAUD rate

//--------------------------------------------------------------------


I changed the second one that time.. Perfect.. ;)

btw: can't download any firmware cause the server is down..

Getting my hand on some programming to control Servo direct from a Arduino ...
Yes.. i guess all of you are laughing..

So here is where i am.. Two servo driven from my ProMini shield.
Initialisation sequence ( 10deg - 90deg - 170deg - 90deg )
The two servo move at different speed and at the same time.
Blinking at a 100us rate

Eric,

Interesting video. But I noticed the servos really didn't do much until the baby started yelling at them. Who did you say was in control? :P
