i have a ssc-32 micro-controller, im looking to power 4 servos (Hitech), do u guys have any idea how to power controller and the servos, i am powering through 9vdc (VL) and tried to connect 6vdc on VS1 but the servo overheated, and busted.
is it a problem of the positioning of the jumpers?
All your answers are found in the SSC-32 user manual. If you have questions after checking out the manual, feel free ask.
If you are intending to use a separate battery supply for the logic (electronics) and servos, be sure the Vl=Vs jumper is NOT installed - this connects the Vl (logic) and Vs (servo) power supply terminals together.
It sounds like the 9V battery supply is connected to the servo power, and that would be what is blowing your servo.
You can not have more than 6.0V or 7.2V. This depends on the model and manufacturer of your servos. Check your servo specifications for its power supply requirements to be sure, and do NOT exceed the voltage ratings of your servos.
Out of the box, the SSC has all the links fitted VS1=VS2=VL.
You need to make sure you have REMOVED the link marked VL=VS1. Tht will seperate V Logic from Servo. You can leave the other one VS2=VS1 as that will keep power to both banks of servo’s
OOPS sorry Linux, just noticed you told him all this…
must learn to read all the posts properly before sticking my oar in…
