BASIC Atom (Mini ABB) + SSC-32: disable/enable servos

Lynxmotion Electronics & Software

Hi… I am looking for the commands to enable and disable a single servo… I am using the Lynx 6 (with SSC-32) and the BASIC Atom Board.

Right now I am using the serout command to control the servos, ie

serout SSC32,I8N1_38400,"#0P", DEC 1500,1000]

is there a command to enable and disable single servos?

Thanks!!

You can send the channel high or low, or you can use the stop command. Check the manual and the additional information on the product.

#0L #1H

STOP 12

Note the STOP command requires the V2 chip and the latest firmware.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Does this command turn off the servos - physically? Like the “Disable/Enable” Command in the RIOS-Software?

I checked the manual (ssc-32.pdf) and wrote the following code to disable the servos:

serout SSC32,I8N1_38400,"#0L","#1L","#2L","#3L","#4L","#5L"]

unfortunately it doesn’t work… what is wrong? All my servos are still grumbling…

thank you!!

You might also try “#0P0”. This and “#0L” and “#0H” should cause the servo to go limp and not support any load. I think the “stop” command will stop the servo at its current position and continue to hold that position.

The problem, might be as simple as you need to output a CR.
