  • I wanted to configure the card for the A-POD, but I can not understand how I have to put the jumper in the picture. can someone explain?

  • Also, i need to Enable “Initial Pulse Offset” in SSC32?

Thanks

If you are connecting the SSC-32 to a microcontroller, you simply need to ensure the baud rate at which the microcontroller is sending commands is the same as the baud rate at which the SSC-32 expects to receive the commands. If you’re connecting it to a BotBoarduino, the sample code uses 38,400 to communicate between the BotBoarduino’s digital pins and the SSC-32. Trust the silk screening on the board to set the jumpers correctly (38,400 would be first jumper on, second jumper off). If you want to connect the SSC-32 directly to a computer though, most of that code needs both jumpers to be in place.

so I just put the first jumper.

please can you answer the question? thanks

When configuring the A-Pod, you need to ensure that the servos are all positioned correctly. This is first done mechanically where you try to connect the servo horn to the bracket as close to 90 degrees as possible. However, tis might still be off by a few degrees, which needs to be corrected via the software. You can do this by changing the initial pulse offset on the SSC-32 directly via the software. When doing this, you will need both jumpers in place. When you disconnect the SSC-32 from the computer and connect it to the microcontroller, you can remove the other jumper.

what is the jumper shown in the photo?
