so i have my ssc connected to my computer via xbees and i want to know if i can control it from a sitec p880 joystick
That appears to be a PS2 controller with USB cable. I doubt it’s the same as ours. You will need to create a PC program on your own that reads the controller and sends the commands to the SSC-32. I’m pretty sure this hasn’t been done before.
Thanks any tips or programs of where to start
Do you have any programming experience?
no i can not program but is there any way to change the baud rate on the lynx rover comtroller : )
You can use this free program…

With this controller…
lynxmotion.com/p-820-usb-ps2 … oller.aspx
It’s able to control a differentially steered vehicle as well as a 5DOF arm. Would that work for you?
thank you but the only problem is that the program is trying to talk at a blazing fast rate but the xbees and ssc are set to a baud of 9600 which is slower than the program wants to talk so the board is not being seen. 8)
why dont you set the baud rate to 115.2k in stead of 9600 on the ssc?
The two BAUD inputs allow configuring the baud rate. Please see the examples below.
Jumpers Baud Rate Usage
0 0 2400 Slower Processors
0 1 9600 Slower Processors
1 0 38.4k Atom/Stamp Communication
1 1 115.2k PC Communication, Firmware Update
because my xbee modulus talk through a droids sas serial converter and i can’t change the baud on those
So we still have no way of knowing if your controller would be recognized by our program. What would be required is the ability to operate the programs at a lower baud rate. This is a change that I am not willing to have implemented. It’s simply not needed by the majority of the users.
so i did some tests through a serial cable and the xbees and through the serial cable the ssc was recognized but not through the xbee at the default baud rate
