Hi folks,
As part of my University project, I’ve got to implement a controller for the department’s SES robotic arm using an FPGA. As part of the problem analysis, I’ve been looking at RIOS’s functionality.
I appreciate that the source code is not available, but does anybody know how RIOS controls the arm? The user manual for the SSC-32 talks about the use of commands such as:
# P
etc to set the position for each channel. I’ve got a COM port monitor running, and this is indeed how the functionality for “All=1.5mS” is done. But when I open the SSC-32 Configuration dialog (with the 8 vertical sliders) and start moving the arm via those sliders, all that ever gets sent is:
#VA B C D.
Which, according to the SSC-32 documentation is a query, not a position command!
Is anybody able to shed any light on this for me please?
Thanks very much,
Nick
Set up:
- SES Robotic Arm
- SSC-32 with Atmega168
- RIOS v1.05
