As the title states, we are attempting to connect the Mini Atom Bot Board with a Basic Atom Pro 28 pin processor to the SSC-32.
We need to send servo commands from the Bot Board to the SSC-32, in retrospect, expanding the number of servo ports the Mini Atom Bot Board already has.
Many of the tutorials show how to do this with the Bot Board II, but it is apparently different for the Mini Atom Bot Board.
Thus far, we’ve connected the boards with a two-wire connection from Port 15 on the Mini ABB to the appropriate serial port on the SSC-32. We’ve also adjusted the baud rate to the 38.4 k.
When we program the Basic Atom with this test script as provided by Lynxmotion.com, nothing happens to the servo connected to P0 on the SSC-32:
’ Atom / SSC-32 Test
’ Configure the SSC-32 for 38.4k baud.
’ Note, a | means the line continues onto the next line.
’ Note, a ’ means the line is a comment, and will not be compiled.
servo0pw var word
movetime var word
servo0pw = 1000
movetime = 2500
start:
servo0pw = 1000
serout p0,i38400,"#0P",DEC servo0pw,“T”,DEC movetime,13]
pause 2500
servo0pw = 2000
serout p0,i38400,"#0P",DEC servo0pw,“T”,DEC movetime,13]
pause 2500
goto start
I’m fairly certain the SSC-32 isn’t even recieving anything, but it’s been several years since we’ve worked with these boards,so our knowledge has become very rusty. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Any links to the correct tutorials would be appreciated as well.
