Each servo has a mechanical “zero” position (1500us pulse). You cannot modify this. You need to ensure it’s zeroed before you connect the horn to the bracket to ensure you get the full range of motion. All servos are shipped “zeroed”, so it’s really only if you accidentally rotate the servo horn that you should need to re-zero it.
My servo come with these metal servo horns, so do I need to remove the plastic one that come with it first? So then how do I know I got the metal horn install right ?
Before you take the horn off, observe the position of the four holes we use (or keep another one alongside). Remove the horn carefully (don’t rotate shaft) and install new horn with the same orientation. Not hard!

Thank you Alan
Thank everyone, (jarcand, KM6VV, CBenson) for help until now. here are some update about my project. More will be on the way.
Can someone explain me what the different between flowbotic and visual sequencer
How to control 2 servo together in visual sequencer
FlowBotics Studio and the Lynxmotion Visual Sequencer are two very different programs.
The Visual Sequencer is a program specifically designed to be used to make pattern sequences for a robot controlled by an SSC-32 board. It has a lot of configurations, including the ability to move the servo control boxes into positions that a visually similar to the actual robot (see picture).
FlowBotics Studio is a robotics software development platform. It comes with 6 six demo projects: 5 are specific to five different Lynxmotion robots (2WD Rover, AL5 Arms, Biped BRAT, MH2 Hexapod, SQ3 Quadruped) and also one general purpose SSC-32 Sequencer project. See Demo Apps. The first five are designed to make generating patterns for each of the robots very easily, and the last can be used to generate patterns for any robot with an SSC-32.
The real power of FlowBotics Studio is that you can make your own projects, or edit the existing ones, using the FlowStone programming language. FlowStone has support for many computer peripherals besides the SSC-32 board, which means you can do much more advanced programs such as add a camera and do machine vision. Learn More.
To move 2 servos together in the Visual Sequencer, see pages 6-10 of the manual for the desired effect:
Thank You Jar as always.
Quick question tho, Can i install visual sequencer in two different system ?
The license for the Visual Sequencer is only for one computer, so if you want to use it on two computers you need to purchase another copy.
Well since that is the case , would it be smart to get flowbotics studio for my laptop so i could control my robot mobile and wireless. and have the visual sequencer for my desktop to created basic movement, then later on import to my laptop and combine with flowsbotics studio ?
Any recommencement for better battery source ?
The Lynxmotion Visual Sequencer and FlowBotics Studio aren’t currently compatible, so you wouldn’t be able to import the Visual Sequencer patterns/movements into FlowBotics.
When you say better battery source, are you looking for a larger batter that will last longer? There is the 6V, 10000 mAH Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery that is a drop-in replacement and is available through the RobotShop store.
I tried to upload to the forum but i couldn’t cause i don’t know where the Embed need to place (between the youtube button or after) anyway, it seen didn’t work for me so please click on the video and let me know what you think.
You’re getting it!
The motion is slow which really helps see what’s happening. You have decided to make the legs as vertical as possible - perhaps you would get better results if the knee was at a more acute angle?
It looks like when it takes its second step that the body stays roughly horizontal.
Essentially you’re almost here:
Lol that is the video i strated to watch to get an idea of the scout design walking machinist.
However the video was made 3 months ago and you can see all these connecting tacking behind scout. So i did some final assembly and some adjustment.

And here is the latest video about his movement
And as you can see the problem I having right now for the design is the cable ragging.
Solution would be bluetooth controlling. Get rid off the cable.
Looks great. If you want to use Bluetooth, these are the parts that we use for testing the SSC-32:
- robotshop.com/en/droids-xbee … =RB-Dro-03
- robotshop.com/en/dfrobot-blu … =RB-Dfr-95
- robotshop.com/en/power-cable … =RB-Onl-10
You need to use the RB-Onl-10 cable to connect the + and - pins of the SSC-32 to the same pins on the RB-Dro-03 adapter board.
If your computer doesn’t already have bluetooth:
