student here…new in robotic world…
i want to build a bipedal for my final year project.
and i’m kind of interested in ssc-32 servo controller which can be used on my project.
more…i already had the servomotor and also the bracket.
is it enough to get the servo controller here???
The Brat kit is gona be your best choice.
You will need 6 servos, Mini-ABB, Atom PRO MCU, SSC-32, battery & charger, battery wire harness, and it’s helpful to have the SSC-32 sequencer software.
Mini-ABB, Atom PRO MCU, <<<where can i get it??
so…i got the servomotor,bracket.
then…controller,software.
mini ABB and atom pro mcu…what is their function? really stupid question.
very new.totally lost…
thanks. 
For a biped the Bot Board II and Atom Pro processor would replace the PC in sending commands to the SSC-32. It’s a microcontroller. Its purpose is to read sensors or some sort of remote control device and send the proper commands to the SSC-32 to make the robot move, walk, get up, sit down, etc…
Yes the Microcontroller is a self contained mini computer that allows you to program code and store it in the built in memory. The code can then be run to allow your bot to move without the need for a PC.
The ABB board is the carrier board for the MCU. In many applications, the SSC-32 board is used with the ABB. The ABB sends commands to the SSC-32 to move the servos. The SSC-32’s primary job is to run the servos which offloads a ton of work that the MCU would otherwise have to do. They both work together allowing for complex smooth servo motions.
i am new to robotics too and am planning out my first robot
i just had a couple of questions.
First of all i was wondering, do you have to have the Bot Board 2 as well as the SSC-32? OR can you just have the SSC-32 and buy the BASIC Atom 28 Pin and put it into the SSC-32?
Are the Bot Board micro controllers compatible with the SSC-32?
What is the best micro controller to buy, and wich one is the simplest to use. What is a mini ABB?? what is a Atom pro MCU
what does ABB and MCU stand for???
really in need of any suggestions,
and i really dont want to go and buy something that wont work with what i have.
You need to have the Bot Board II for the Basic Atom and Atom Pro microcontrollers. The microcontroller is inserted into the socket of the Bot Board II.
The Bot Board II is connected to the SSC-32 via a serial connection to it’s serial port. You write programs for the Basic Atom or Atom Pro using the FREE IDE distributed by Basic Micro. The Mini-ABB is the older version of the Bot Board II.

Eh, I don’t think “need” is the correct word for using a bot board with one of the basic atom modules but it certainly makes using one a whole lot easier. 
The atom modules have pin leads much like a conventional 24 or 28 pin DIP-style integrated circuit so you could use a plug board or even wire up your own wire-wrap or other style breadboard. Doing it this way though makes a lot of extra work and unless you have a very, very minimal requirement for connections would probably wind up costing more than just using the bot board.
MCU stands for: MicroController Unit
The SSC-32 does not accecpt the MCU, it has its own chip.
Bellow shows the two boards. The ABB (Atom Bot Board) is the board that lets you use an MCU of your choice:
