What is the ACSII command to turn the servos off?
There is none.
There’s always power to the rails.
I suppose that you could tap the power lines, add some FETs, and controll them with a microcontroller.
But, by then, you might as well make your own servo controller board.
Would it work to break power to the SSC temporarily?
Then it would not be sending any pulses to any servos, which leaves them in a ‘limp’ state, right?

Sending #0 L will remove the pulses for channel 0. There are also commands to turn off banks of 8 servos at a time. By sending #0:0 channels 0-7 can be turned off. This only works with normal servos, as standard digital servos don’t “turn off” when the pulses are stopped.
sapian, that’s an option, but i had gotten the impression that he wanted to turn them off individually.
Jim, I didn’t know that analogs died once you stopped sending pulses…
interesting.
