I am having a problem with the SSC-32 board on the Lynx 6. I have used one of the test programs you have provided in the Basic Atom/SSC-32 tutorial. It programs it properly to the Atom, and also it sends the data to the SSC-32 board. I know this because when the data is being transmitted to the SSC-32 from the Atom, led D1flashes continuously since it is a continuous program. The servos on the lynx 6 however do not move. This leads me to believe that maybe the data is not getting to the pins which have the servos connected to them. Prior to connecting the Basic Atom, the SSC-32 was working fine because we tested the Lynx 6 using the RIOS program provided. I also noticed that the motors were not behaving the same as they were before connecting the Basic Atom. Before connecting the Atom, the motors would jerk on power up and continuously make a a buzzing noise. Now however the buzzing noise is not there and only some of the motors jerk. If you have any idea as to what the problem might be, I would greatly appreciate some advice. Thank You for any help.
Other than the motors not making any sound, I am unaware of any other changes to the SSC-32 or the Atom. Also after running the program given to me from your website (Assembly guide for Basic Atom and Lynx 6 SSC-32), I noticed the D1 led flashing continuously on a regular basis.
The voltages on the Vs1, VL and VS2 terminals are all 6.156 volts. Furthermore i have both the VS1 terminal connected to the adapter form the wall outlet, and also VL through the battery power, as shown in your assembly diagram for the Atom + SSC-32 Lynx 6. Even the voltage terminals VS and VL on the Atom both register 6.156 volts. the Atom is powered via the batteries.
I was unaware that there had to be a baudrate change in order to ensure communication between the two devices. This as not mentioned anywhere to my knowledge. How would I go about changing the Baudrate if this is the case?
You’ll need to remove one of the jumpers on the SSC-32. In the center of the board, there are two jumpers, if you remove the one next to the A, B, C, D pins, that will set the baud to 38.4k. Although it doesn’t say it in the text, if you look closely at the picture in the tutorial, it shows that the jumper is removed.
It works fine now. Really appreciate your help, because I was here thinking that it was a hardware problem and that I may have to replace components. Thanks again for everything.
