Need help on simple prog

Hello, i’m trying to make a program for my Bot Board to SSC 32. I’ve tried the sample program but its not working. It says Error: FILE C:\USERS\JARETH FRANK\DESKTOP\ABB PROTOTYPE\PROGRAMMING\LASER CELL TEST PROG.BAS(LINE 57) : [TOKEN "#"] : Unexpected token type

Looks like the last line may have a CR, making it essentially two lines of code. It needs to be one long line. Remove the carriage return in the middle of the command.

bane · April 17, 2008, 4:23pm

like,

SEROUT P15,I38400, "#0P",DEC S0, "#1P",DEC S1, "#2P",DEC S2, "#3P",DEC S3, "#4P",DEC S4, "#5P",DEC S5, "#6P",DEC S6, "#7P",DEC S7, "T",DEC TTM,13]
is this what your talking about?
what is the carriage?

or

part?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 4:30pm

Go to the end of this line.

SEROUT P15,I38400, “#0P”,DEC S0, “#1P”,DEC S1, “#2P”,DEC S2, “#3P”,DEC S3,

and hit backspace once. Then the below should wrap to make one long line.

“#4P”,DEC S4, “#5P”,DEC S5, “#6P”,DEC S6, “#7P”,DEC S7, “T”,DEC TTM,13]

Ok it complied fine but now my ssc-32 just flashes and no motion.
I’m supposed to have RX to pin 15 right?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 4:56pm

If the LED is flashing then it is receiving data. Do you have the baud rate jumpers on the SSC-32 set for 38.4k?

To answer your previous question the for next loop will happen 10 times. Setting servos 0 through 9 to position 1500. I was eating lunch so I couldn’t answer everything. Mmmm pizza! lol

bane · April 17, 2008, 5:05pm

yes i have it set on 38.4k
what pin do have to have the Rx on?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 6:41pm

The Atom is sending data (TX) on pin 15…

SEROUT P15

There is no need for RX because your program isn’t reading data from the SSC-32.

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 6:55pm

Do you have power for the servos on VS1 or VS2?

bane · April 17, 2008, 9:00pm

yes

oh, i’m using the jumper wire that the servo controller came with and its connected to ground and RX

Do i have to modify the cable to connect it to TX?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 9:04pm

No need to modify the cable. The Atom is connected to the (RX) on the SSC-32. Like I said before because the LED is blinking the SSC-32 IS receiving data. You still have no motion? Do the servos hold position?

bane · April 17, 2008, 9:10pm

no its like the servo don’t exist. Can you look a my program again?
im pretty sure that i have all the hardware set up right because i can control the ssc-32 with Lynxterm and it works fine.

Is there anywere else to let the program know that i’m using pin 15?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 9:59pm

I’m going to let you find your problem. hint a it’s really simple blatantly obvious error that I didn’t even see right away. When you find it you will want to kick yourself. lol

Pin 15 is used in the serouts and it’s fine.

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 10:40pm

Ok, capital letter O looks a lot like a zero. That’s all I’m saying…

nice lol. i just programmed it and p0 is working. do i have to repeat the code above for all my 8 servos?

robotdude · April 17, 2008, 11:04pm

The code below your…
start:
test code
goto start

worked for me, so I assumed you had forgotten to remove test code. But after I uncommented it out I realized that was where the problem you were having was. It took me a while to see the O where the 0 was supposed to be.

So you made me type through pizza, and stay an hour late.

It’s ok, I really wanted to figure it out for you. Remember computers do exactly what you tell them to do and care very little about what you want them to do. And talk about literal… Good luck I’m going home…

bane · April 17, 2008, 11:09pm

man i don’t care what they say about you, your all right .
I just commented the things and its fine. if i messed around some more i’d probably figure out why the servos are moving so slowly

DEC MOVETIME,13]

im guessing if i play around with the number i can change the speed

Thanks!
