EZ-B Microcontroller Getting No Power

Everyday it seems there is a new problem to solve. Today I tried connecting to my InMoov robot with the latest version of ARC. Whilst it connects OK, I get -1 voltage reading. No servos function of course. This is the first time this has happened. What would be the cause? I can disconnect everything and reconnect one component at a time but that is...

question

SSC-32 And Virtual Ports

Is there any way of turning off a virtual port? I am using an SSC-32 for more ports and was hoping to use the PWM(V0,90) command to set the voltage value of a virtual port. But this command only works for digital ports. I want to connect some LEDs to the virtual ports and turn them on and off.

SSC-32U Pulse Width Modulation

A quick question. If have a couple of 270 degree servos. To get the full rotation I need to set the pulse width range in the SSC-32U configuration to 500-2500. Will this upset other standard 90 degree servos connected to the SSC-32U? The default range on the config was 650-2250, and I was only getting about 220 degrees rotation.
