I try to make a few intercative videos and I use the language output. When I go to the language output window, you can not mark the text. I must first mark it with ctr + a which is a little annoying. It would be...

Ssc32 In Mobile Interface

Hi, I have been using an ezb-v4 with a ssc32 to control servos without issue for a while now. However, trying to use the Mobile interface (v2017.02.16.00) the ezb/ssc32 link (uart @115200) is freezing (red light on both ezb and ssc32) as soon as I try to send a command via the uart. (It will still control the servos plugged directly into the ezb) I...
