Im New and I tried everything. PLEASE HELP ME :'(

I bought them together but they come like this
the PS2 controller with the receiver in one box and the board that i connect the receiver in another pack. but they came together.

i thought the v2 ps2 controllers had two red leds. i **think **you have a v1. no need to the extra level shift board if you have a V1.

v1

No level shift required can can be wire like this…
lynxmotion.com/images/html/build162.htm

v2 uses the level shift board had two red leds. you do not have a V2 receiver.

i connect the PS2 like the pic do u want me to do this?

im sorry. yes i did it.

This is the sound when is the power on

This is the counection between BB II and SSC-32

the code that I used is in this
lynxmotion.com/images/html/build159.htm
under the name Phoenix BASIC Atom Pro Program
next to step 18

ok cool thanks for the videos. :wink:
The connection between the two boards is fine. The botboard makes the correct sound that has been programmed to it. :smiley:
you could try programming the ATOM with that code snipped to see whats happening. Info on that can be found in that link i posted.

The LED on the Botboard is indicating power is good to that board. and the LED on the SSC is flickering very fast, meaning its received data and is waiting for initiation from the PS2.

Once the SSC has received this data it will not flicker any more until it next receives data. but its getting that PS2 working for this to happen…

it does seem that the PS2 is at fault here and im starting to feel sympathetic towards these issues you are having as it seems to be one problem after another…

But here is the holy grail of all electronic issues… Power!
seeing that all the connections seem ok and that the atom is programmed correctly and is working as expected i can only assume that that you are powering both boards and the PS2 receiver from that 6v battery.???

Correct me if im wrong there…? i cannot make out if you have a separate power supply for VS and VL

If im correct then it might be better to change your powering options to something more acceptable like:

Maybe this is how you have it?

Also…
The software switches the controller to analogue mode and some controllers need to be put into analogue mode manually by pushing the button on the controller.

u welcome I thought video is the best way coz I think i can’t explain it in words :smiley:

yes I followed the tutorial provided. and this is the video
youtube.com/watch?v=HHgKjtSy3d4

In the forlder Phoenix_V20.prj 3 code files

Phoenix_cfg.bas
Phoenix_V20.bas
Phoenix_control_ps2.bas

Do u want me to create new code file with them or replace what in "Phoenix_control_ps2.bas"and if i need to creat another file what i should name it?

I have it powered exactlly like the picture u provided.

how to do that coz as in the video I couldnt change any thing on the PS2 controller


Ok well it would seem that testing the ps2 with the code is the only solution I can think of.

The code has nothing to do with the phoenix code, ssc or anything else except the ps2. Please follow the instructions and guidelines in the ps2 tutorial so its done just right.

but id i did this it will ease the phoenix cod?

i did every thing in the tutorial and this is what i got

what to do next?

Based on the values on the screen, your PS2 is working correctly. When you change any of the inputs (for example the pad on the left side) you will see the values change (analog input). Therefore the connection and setup is working well. The next step is to ensure you upload the correct walking code to the board, ensure you have it physically setup properly (power, jumpers etc.) Also, since you are likely using an SSC-32 servo controller, ensure it’s powered and set correctly. If you have issues, please provide a few clear images of the electrical setup between the Bot Board and the SSC-32.

Yes the connection between BB II and SSC-32 are the same as the tutorial in lynxmotion online and also I provide many videos about that

I really did everything but I dont know why is not working

Im pretty sure you have a V2 Controller and been sent a V1 Receiver. They are not compatible…

Why a new version of the PS2 was ever released i dont know :confused:
especially since they look almost identical with the exception of the logo being curved more on the controller and the color change in the receivers ps2 LEDs. A more obvious change would have saved issues like this. :question:

Of cause… This is a only true if v1RX -v2TX are not compatible… :blush:

how can i fix it please :frowning:

It seems you have an older PS2 receiver (one green and one red LED). Did you purchase a separate receiver? Note that the new PS2 transmitter does not work with the old PS2 receiver, although they look the same. The “old” transmitter has a very flat Lynxmotion sticker, while the new one has a sticker with rounded edges.

how come I bought it from Lynxmotion and they came in the same box. and also I have another PS2 receiver with 2 red LED not green and red.

These what I have
the long PS2 receiver with 2 red LED i bought it separately
the other one come with the PS2 controller that shown in the pic
what I have connected already is the last one that i bought

Im running out of time :’(




I had concluded all this to you on Fri May 10?!

Remove that receiver with the green LED. forget about that and the controller with nothing written on it. thats not even a Lynxmotion controller??

This image shows the setup you need… if you received the “Lynxmotion controller” Receiver with two RED LEDS and the level shift board then you have no issue.
http://www.lynxmotion.com/images/product/large/rc-01%20v2.jpg

it shows a Lynxmotion controller (V2) with a ps2 receiver (V2) you have both of these so i dont know why you are using that V1 receiver.

Did you get the Level shift board also…?

I bought the Receiver with 2red leds separately with the Lynxmotion controller.
I got Lynxmotion controller with the green led, is that ok?

yes I have it.

you have the correct parts there…

[size=110]PLEASE, Remove that V1 Reveiver.
Connect the V2 Receiver + Level Shift Board to the BotBoard.[/size]

Hello
I just wanna say that I really appreciate all the effort that u spend it writing all the instruction and posting all the helpful tips.
the Hexapod is working now and im so happy. I really learned a lot from u guys and from this form.

I just wanna sau thank u so much :smiley: :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue:
