I'm currently installing and testing my new SSC-32 and testing servos using Servo(V0,xx) script commands which work great, and I'm trying to get a "connection" init script sorted to set virtual servo speeds on start up, but can't figure out how to control speed. A take it that the "ServoSpeed()" commands are not supported for virtual servos as it doesn't seem to be working for me?
One other thing, it's not a problem for me, but may be for others... in the SSC control config menu, when UART #0 is unchecked, I cannot select any other UART ports from the dropdown menu as no others are showing.
You have to use scripts with uart or sendseial commands instead if you want to control speed...
See my tutorial... SSC-32 Tutorial
I missed that one. Very helpful and a good tutorial Richard. Another quick question, where you wrote...
what would be the value for "0" servo release?
I have never tried any value below 500 or above 2500 so I can't say if "0" would "release" the servo or not.... I would consult the manual first before trying, though....
Okay, thanks anyway.
Just to note, setting $pw= to "0" or higher than "2500" doesn't release a servo. I just tried and the servo still holds. The manual hasn't been much help is this regard so far.
Last question, what is the "13" value for at the end of the UARTWrite script lines Richard?
Not bothered about the last question now. I'm ditching the SSC for a second V4 instead, as servo speed will be a lot easier to manage, besides, I need servo release which I have been unable to find a way of doing so far.
13 is a keyboard carriage return....
Okay. Thanks.
I left a post on the RobotShop forum about releasing servos using the SSC-32, and here's part of their response...
.so hopefully the will add this at some point.
