Different sequences with different senors using SSC32

Lynxmotion Electronics & Software
1

hi there

I want to make 4 different sequences for 4 different sensors , is it possible with SSC32 ??!!

if yes

Is it possible using servo sequential controller software (open source ) or I have to use lynxterm ???
I have seen some posts but I didn’t understand that much

many thanks in advance

Hi Zakariya,

Could you explain more about what you mean when you mention “4 different sensors”? Do you mean you wish to control four different sensors using four servos motors? Or do you mean you wish to control the SSC-32 using the data from four different sensors? Or maybe something else entirely?

Providing more details and a diagram or picture of your idea would make it easier to give you more advice.

Also, which software are you referring too when you mention this open source software?

Sincerely,

hi scharette

sorry for not being clear I was in harry

for example I have motion1,motion2,motion3 and motion4

each motion will make a group of servos works in different way and I want to connect 1 sensor for each motion

for example if sensor1 detect an object motion1 will be applied
if sensor2 detect gas motion2 will be applied
sensor3 … motion3 applied and so on

the software I meant before was ““SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility”” the one with this code RB-Dsp-07

I hop it is clear

thanks

Hi Zakariya,

Thank you for the clarification.

The SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility does display 4 inputs in the bottom right but they cannot be used to program patterns or other behaviors with the patterns.

If you wish to do complex behaviors based on input values, you would need to do some programming. You can use many options to do so, but here are the main two:

  1. FlowBotics Studio
    This is RobotShop’s visual programming language and IDE. This is what was used to make the SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility and many other FlowBotics Apps that we sell.
    The software comes with many examples with source code to learn and practice with. This would allows you to control the behavior of the SSC-32 easily.

  2. Any programming language that can access a serial port (COM port), like C#, VB.NET, Java, C++, etc.
    If you prefer to program yourself the entire interface from scratch, you can do so using many programming languages. All you need is an access to serial ports, which most of them offer in one way or another.
    The SSC-32 is controlled by sending it ASCII strings with commands. You can find all the details in the manual. Look here for the SSC-32U (USB port version) and here for the SSC-32 (DB9 serial port version).

Sincerely,

hi scharette

thanks a lot for replay

woooow:shock:

I never thought FlowBotics Studio can do all that:shock: … I will buy it I will start with it :smiley:

so I have an other question can I use FlowBotics Studio in arduino and NI DAQ6009 since they use Labview which is similar to FlowBotics Studio

thanks for the information … really helpful :smiley:

Unfortunately at this time we do not yet have an Arduino - FlowBotics interface, nor do we have one for the NI DAQ6009
These are nevertheless good ideas and we hope to expand the range of compatible hardware.

hi CBenson thanks for replay

really sad to hear that :frowning:

yeah I think so too

thanks a lot for every one

all the best :smiley:
