I will control my CH3-R via Serial Port. I upload the Powerpod program on the controller but the Serial Tool doesnt respond. The connection via PC and Bot Board Works but the robot doesnt move. The PS2 controller cabel is plugged on the BotBoard and the connection to SSC-32 is al…

Hi ExMachina, This probably should be in the multileg forum and not here, but… If I understand your question, you have created a new basic program using powerpod configured for serial communications. You have sucessfully compiled and downloaded it to your bot board. Not sure …

Hello Kurt, okay let me explain my issue. I create a custom Serial Port Control Program with Powerpod to control the robot with my PC. To communicate with the Bot Board2 and the BasicAtomPro 28 I use the tool that is included in the powerpod tool. (shown in the Powerpod PDF Manu…

Hi again, Look at the program that was generated by powerpod. Look for the line that looks like: SSC32 con p15 Change this line to P8 and recompile and download. I hope that helps. Kurt

You mentioned you are using the SSC-32. Is the green light on? if yes, does the green light go out and blink when receiving commands? Also, check that the proper baud jumpers are set for TTL serial communications on the ssc-32. Perhaps you did not switch it back to TTL comms so …

Hi Matthias, I think you are saying that the walking is better now with the serial connection than it did before with the PS2? The main portion of the code that powerpod is the same regardless of which input method is used. There was an issue recently with powerpod on an Atom …

Hi Kurte, I use two separate .pmp files in PowerPod to create the custom AtomPro codes. 1st vX.43 Temp Fix.pmp for PS2 controll mode lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx? … #downloads Webside advised this is only applicable for PS2 controll 2nd vX.43.pmp for the serial port cont…

I want the botboard II to receive commands from the pc (serial) and the ssc32 receives/transmits to the botboard II.

How do i set this up and is it at all possible? I.o.w. Does the botboard II has 2 serial ports?
