ok my ssc-32 is powered on the vs1 with a 6v batt and powers the bb2 from vs2. now it dose not work ssc-32 comes on but bb2 dose not. if i move the power over to vl on ssc-32 going to the bb2 it works. is my vs2 dead?
If you have an on-board battery checker (e.g. lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx? … goryID=105) then you can plug it into the ports on the VS2 bus and it will light up so long as your battery has a charge and current is passing through those pins. Alternatively you can use a multimeter to check for a voltage. It seems like you would see a scorch mark somewhere on the board if you lost just that circuit but I could be wrong.
ok i have voltage on the vs2 bus (or servo pins) but i do not have it at the vs2 conector
That seems odd. Is the terminal still firmly affixed to the board. It is attached via two pins, perhaps one has broken.
yes vs2 is firmly attached i can not get a reading from the solder joints on it ether. i have voltage on the jumper pins vs1=vs2 but not at the vs2 connector it beats be im not shore whats goin on
Here’s something I tried when I thought I may have burnt out my VS2. I disconnected the power. Then shorted ground and VS2 on port 16. Finally I measured the resistance at the solder points for the terminal. By doing this I could see that power was still making it to the terminal.
OK im a visual person im not shore what your saying to do
in theory if i short it the way you describe wouldn’t i get a ohm reading whether it worked or did not
mybe im just not clear on what you said.
are you saying you jumped vs2 connector to servo port 16 and then ohm’d
at the vs2 solder points
Take a look at 3 on the image below. Notice how the jumpers are installed? in order for power to go out VS2 you should have those jumpers installed.
and i do and have had them that way. the gound on vs2 is still working just not the b+ side i can apply power to any other b+ and the b+ on servo pins and power the board vs1 and vl still work all jumpers are just like the diagram and have been since i got it the only ones i have ever remover are rx/tx and baud for conection to bb2
Well if the ground is working then this sounds like a short to me. Look underneath the board and make sure no traces on the board are burnt.
and there are not i can not see any on top or the bottom
dose anybody know were vs2 power goes to, is there a schematic i can look at maybe i can jump b+ terminal to where it needs to go
In the image below notice the jumper I added labeled “short”. Without this you should have infinite resistance between the VS2 + and - terminals. With it you should register a resistance.
i got no image on you last post DaemonMaker
just to throw this out there could i hook it up like this
what would be the harm it should be the same rite

ok with it short on vs2 and ground at pin 16 it is ol (or no resistance) as i guessed it would be
so i believe i have an open in my vs2 circuit between the connector and vs2 bus and vs2=vs1 jumper what do you all think i can/should do
That is beyond me and I don’t know the impacts of your proposed circuit either. I’m still pretty new to electronics myself. I’m sure someone else around here will enlighten us though.
Could be a bad solder joint that remelting might fix. Otherwise you probably can solder a small jumper wire between the pins on the underside of the board.
what pins would i jump together
Look at the schematic!
