Richard R,
In my never ending quest to spend more money in the long run...I think I'm going to try this one on amazon. Shanhai Arduino 16 Channel servo Motor Control Drive Board Compatible SSC3 . I'll let you know how that turns out!
@Checksumff Both the DB-9 and USB versions of the ssc-32 have Tx and Rx pins... Which makes it a snap to interface with the EZB... Let me know how the Arduino servo controller works out....
I also did a version of what Aerius did. Mine was a "guitar tuning peg" type screw set up to adjust finger line tension...
Here is a little sample code on using the ssc 32 to control servos with the ezb...
#This sample code uses the ezb UART port 0
#it sets the servo ports 0 to 4 on the ssc-32 to 90 degs
$pw="1500" #90deg... min is 500 (1), max is 2500 (180)
$m ="1000" #servo speed... smaller number = faster
UARTWrite(0,0,"#0P"+$pw+"T"+$m,13) #right thumb
UARTWrite(0,0,"#1P"+$pw+"T"+$m,13) #right index
UARTWrite(0,0,"#2P"+$pw+"T"+$m,13) #right middle
UARTWrite(0,0,"#3P"+$pw+"T"+$m,13) #right ring
UARTWrite(0,0,"#4P"+$pw+"T"+$m,13) #right baby
@BHouston, I was trolling and seen this post. Do you mind expanding on the hub or terminal you are using in the arms. Do you just run the signal wires to each port on the EZB and one positive and one negative to the the servos from a power source? I would like to do this to save so many wires going into the back of Inmoov.
That's correct. All the positive and negative servo wires go to a main power bus on the back of the robot and these are powered by two 6v 12 amp/hr batteries. The terminal in the forearm only has 2 power wires running back to the main bus. The signal wires go to the EZB. A common ground goes from the batteries to the EZB.
It works really well. I also have 2 power switches, one to turn the power on to the EZB and the other to power up the servos, once the EZB is connected.

Thanks Richard R!

@BHouston, Thanks! I am going to try that.
