hello i just got my ssc32 a few days ago. i put it all together and was alining the servos for a hex robot. the p16 section was not working at all. so i switched the connection to p19 thinking ok one bad spot or somthing and it worked. but now that i have connected the BB2 after realinemt (and changing the p16 in the code to p19) i don’t have any control over the entier left side of the bot. they all went dead no power at all (p16-p32) is it posible i have a bad SSc32? should i be sending it in for a replacement?
Power to the servos on that side is just a trace on the board.
I’d disconnect the servo under question (the one you moved), and see if your servo voltage is 5 - 6V or so.
I’m assuming that you’re using a separate servo battery, and not just a 9V logic battery?

Are you able to take a photo of the board showing its jumper locations?
Could be an issue with the VS1 = VS2 jumpers.
thats what i thought. umm i’ll give that a shot if i can find my bloody tester
Jumpers you say? i set them up like this.

and they are still in place from what i can see ATM. i’ll take a pic for you thou in the mornin when i have time to tare down to the board and have a better look. maby i’ll find out more when i do too. still befuddled by this stuff alittle. don’t mind the new guy…
Okay got a pic today. (long day…lol)

blurry as heck but all my cam could do. i have the vs1 = vs2 and baud jumpers and they are still in place i don’t see any problems when i took it down today. no bad wires or what not anyhow. i can’t find my tester…grrr so i can’t look into that. the servos that are not working are on the right side of the pic. i disconnected each servo and pluged them into my other servo board (rc car) and made shure they work. no problems there. I’m at a loss here?
Have you connected the ssc-32 directly to a computer and tested it using lynxterm? If you haven’t, then this is the first thing you need to do to see if it is an ssc-32 issue.
I really can’t see from the pix. But if one bank is out, which way do you have the servos plugged in? the GND (typically black) goes to the outside of the board (it’s marked with the ground symbol as well).

Once you have tried Lynxterm and tested it with one known good servo connected connected at a time, you really need access to a meter to test if you have dry joint, damaged jumper, burnt out track, etc.
You could also move the servo battery power connections from VS1 to VS2 and see if the issue flips from one side of the board to the other. That would narrow down where the possible break is.
yes this was the first thing i did, and how i found the original bad spot. that now seems to have spread.
Servos are pluged in right.
i’ll give that a try and see what it dose.
We would be happy to look at the SSC-32 for you. How long have you had it?
been only a cuple days 5-7 ish. not quite a week yet.
Send it to me. Use the address on the website. Make sure your contact information is included. I will replace it if necessary. 
Okay this showed that it dose switch sides. error some ware in the link of vs1 and vs2. i replaced the jummpers for no change so apparently not bad jummper(s).
Aye will do, thx
