Hi!
This is my first post in this forum, although I`ve been hiding in the shadows for a loooong time. 8)
The sole reason for me posting here is of course my desperate need for help!
So, Here we go!
I have a linksys Wrt54G router Running the OpenWrt White Russian Firmware. This is in turn connected to the ssc-32 using a simple 2 wire to the TTL RX. This works great!
I can telnet to the router using netcat and output data to the servo controller, and the servos does move.
But this is also where the problem begins: I cannot make the servo move to a definite position. when I send the commands to the serial port, it seems it does not consider the timing or speed variable. If I send "#0 P1600 S750 " the servo will move. If i repeat the command enough times it will eventually reach the desired position but only by small steps…
When I connect the SSC-32 to one of my computers it works properly with the same command.
PS! Sorry for my bad english…
Cheers Morten
Glad you finally posted. 
What you are describing is a classic case of the SSC-32 resetting. This means the power applied to it is not strong enough. The easiest way to verify this is to watch the green LED. When you power on the SSC-32 it should be on. However after it receives a valid command the LED will go out, and after that it should blink when it is receiving data. If you send it a command and the servo moves a little, then the LED is on steady, that means the SSC-32 has reset. How to prevent this you ask? Remove the jumper VS1=VL, connect a 9vdc battery clip to the VL input, and power the servos with the VS terminal as normal. Let us know if this helped. 
Thank you very much for your help, it was as you said, low voltage to the controller. Doh! I should have figured, I actually had the same problem when I first recieved the SSC… Well, we`re all learning from mistakes, right?
This means it is possible for me to use the WRT as a networked control device, while using the Mini-itx solely for the 4 video streams!
Anyways, thanks for the help!
Regards
Morten
