I have connection or detection problems. I am using windows 7 (a physical machine) and I get this problem: ‘‘please cycle the power and try again’’. It does not seem to detect Servo Controller SSC-32. I have already powered the controller, but maybe it is not the right way, although I have tried it in different ways. I saw that someone else had already posted the question some time ago, but they didn’t give a solution. I would like to know if anyone was able to solve it?
I would be very grateful for your help, either to drop this option or try some solution.
@GR15 Welcome to the RobotShop Community.
The easiest way to power the SSC-32 is using VS1, ensuring the + goes to positive and - goes to ground.
VL doesn’t need power if you’re operating at 6V. It’s there to give the option of a separate logic supply if needed.
VS2 is there if you need additional power, at which point you’re remove the two VS1=VS2 jumpers.
We suggest wiring harnesses like those below. Be absolutely certain no loose wires make contact between the screw terminals.
The USB to serial is a normal FTDI and although most of the time Windows installs the drivers on its own, if not, look up FTDI VCP drivers and choose your operating system.
