actually have missed a few boards along the way
Actually it looks like you can still get an Arc-32 - robotshop.com/en/basic-micro … oller.html ($70)
basicmicro.co.uk/Product/B00 … asic-Stamp (90 pounds which is maybe $130?
Again personally they were great boards for the day, but…
hi
I wanna know about something
USB SSC-32 has UART + Xbee place
Can I use the UART port for IMU 9 DOF and Xbee place for Xbee to Remote for control?
Thanks
Simple Answer is no. Couple of different things
The SSC-32 can not talk to the IMU through the USART is a servo controller and not setup as a General purpose processor. That is, it expects commands to be sent to it through either, USB or Serial port or XBee. It then acts on those commands to control the servos connected to it. There are some IO commands built into the SSC-32u that allow it to read or write to a few IO pins on the board, but again this is under control of the processor connected to it (commans sent to the SSC-32) The commands for this are contained in the users guide: lynxmotion.com/images/data/l … _guide.pdf
I believe the USB, USART and XBee are logically connected to each other. So for the most part only one of these can be used.
How about this, I use SSC-32 and use the UART from SSC-32 to UART1 Atmega128, and UART2 Atmega128 to IMU Razor 9DOF
Can it works?
Maybe…
But my guess is you are probably pretty much on your own to figure out how, hardware and software. You would need to make sure that you could hook both of them up in an electrical compatible way, plus generate compatible baud rates, then develop whatever software you needed to read the IMU and then generate the commands to send to the SSC-32. I am not sure if anyone ever created an Arduino like setup for it, otherwise you would probably need to use something like Atmel Studio to develop code for it. Also not sure if you have a board with this, if it has some form of bootloader or you may need hardware to program the board… Could be fun if you are experienced with tinkering with hardware and the like.
I have not done anything with an Atmega128 in maybe 8 years… Back to a BDMaverik boards…
Personally if I was not overly experience in electronics and programming, I would choose a more commonly used board (we have mentioned several earlier in this thread), where you will find others who can help out an there is code available to try out that may do most of what you would like to do
Good luck on this project
