Hi All,
OK. I have searched the forums and everywhere..But I couldnt find the example of how to connect these 2 item together...
I think its called a 32 servo controller... Where does the wiring connect to and from?
Really sorry if it has already been posted somewhere but I just couln't find it. Thanks in advance
There's only one way to know if it's a compatible clone. Simply follow the instructions that you've already been provided. Here's a link AGAIN: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=216
Click on that link. That will bring you to the ARC control for the SSC-32. You do not need to script anything, ignore Richard's tutorial. There is absolutely no scripting necessary. The SSC-32 is compatible with all servo controls in ARC when the SSC-32 control is added to the project.

Thanks DJ,
Unfortunately, the link still takes me to when the board is connected.
How it's supposed to be connected is the question..
I assume the SSc32 TX goes to EZB RX and RX to TX Vice versa...
GND to GND and 5V? Right?
@Jimbo,
Check also the tutorial: EZ-Bv4 Datasheet.pdf page #2 https://synthiam.com/Community/Tutorials/18
You will need to manage 3 different power sources:
A picture to help visualize
If i my ask, why you need a servo board, EZ-B can handle 24 servos (Port D0-D23) ?
@Jimbo... see post#9 and read carefully... 2 wires are all you need to connect the ezb4 to your board.... (also see PTP's diagram)
@ptp If the board has an on board 5v regulator you maybe can do without 5V to VDD. You can probably use servo power for logic as well... However I would check that carefully first since we don't have the spec sheet for that board...
PTP,
Thanks so much for the diagram. Now I get it.
Also, I am building a INMOOV robot so not enuff ports.
After my first EZB burnt, (No warranty from my Local distributor), I bought another 3 EZB's so in case another one gets burnt, I have spare. I know I can use 2 EZB's for my INMOOV but I am planning to build the BB-8 robot after this so I am gonna need the EZB for that.
Richard, I will be using external servo power that will not be connected to any boards. Only signal and GND from servo will be connected to the boards.Cos some servos are 6V and others are 7.2.
@Richard,
Yes, i had the same idea, but i found the manual, at least one of them ....
When you think about that ... you never know who was the initial/original manufacturer.... if the manual / documentation is accurate etc etc
manual.pdf
Page 21:
The circuit expects 5V from USB or 5V from the VCC, can't be both connected otherwise "kaboom"
So even if the OP manages to share the power source between servos and EZB, he still needs 5V to feed the board.
@jimbo... If you can't get this servo board to work my recommendation is to just use 2 ezb4s (or more) with inMoov for ease of use and much less complication....
