Then, with a SSC32 controller, and the same servo now connected to V0, the servo moves at one speed only, The servospeed command has no effect either...

Controlling Servo Speed And Fluidity With Joystick Control

I recently posted a question about getting my PS3 to work with ARC. I now have a driver that allows it to be recognized and connect. The issue I am having is with the speed of the servos and the robot jitters. It just isn't a smooth movement. I am using a dynamixal robot arm (AX12) and an OpenCM controller. Is there a way to control the speed or...

Connecting worked suprisingly well and i can move the servo to any position, however i cant change the speed. I used pin2 (PWM) and regular digital pin22 both show no interest...
