Hello I try almost everything i download the program for phoenix and also install the lib for PS2 controller for Arduino the lights on the ps2 ver4 and the dongle Connected to the botboarduino stop blinking and remains green means is connected, but i don’t have any response at this point I’m using the botboarduino with ssc32-u (usb) i check every servo and calibrated using the servo sequencer utility everything response properly with that software my only concern is I’m not able to connect the at 115200 only at 9600 I’m using the com 3 every time i try 115200 connects and after few seconds disconnect and said time out refresh the power only at 9600 works fine may be that’s my problem idk i will appreciate any help thank you
The SSC-32U’s baud rate is 9600 by default. Note that the Phoenix sample code uses soft serial to communicate with the SSC-32U via the two digital pins. Take a look at the baud rate within the Phoenix code to know if it needs to be changed on the SSC-32U (using hte baud rate button). This is more than likely the issue. Next, check how you are powering VL on the BotBoarduino (jumpers on the board). If you have it set to EXT and don’t have VL=VS, then you might also have power issues.
#define cSSC_BAUD 38400 //SSC32 BAUD ratei try modify the baud rate now the scc32 show me the right light just green means is receiving 9600baud now but still no move is any clear picture how to power the boards i just using a single battery 6v 2000mha servos respond fast when i use the servo sequencer on the scc32-u and yes i have the jumper on vl=vs but maybe im not power the botboarduino properly i run a cable from the vs2 scc32-u to the vl botboarduino
We cannot see the connections to the PS2 receiver - does the LED on the receiver become solid when you turn on the remote control?
When you say nothing is moving - the On/Off switch is ON, you press the “start” button on the PS2 remote, and do you hear a beep from the BotBoarduino?
Yes lights on the remote and the ps2 dongle goes solid and i press start but nothing happend also the botboarduino makes a beep too
So if you hear a beep, that means the code was uploaded properly - to confirm, you uploaded the Phoenix code to the board without error?
The last thing to try would be to change the jumper on the BotBoarduino to USB rather than EXT, remove the VS=VL jumper, plug in the USB cable to the computer and repeat.
I am kinda confuzed about how to power up the botboarduino i run a cable from the vs2 scc32-u to the vl botboarduino but i saw a config with 9v battery also do i need to used the vl or the vs on the botboarduino thank you
the first time i send the program to the botboarduino i have this errors but when i do it again is no errors i dont understand why

There are a few ways to power the BotBoarduino:
-
Same power supply (VL) as the SSC-32U, which means connecting the red and black wires betweeen the VL on the BBduino and the VL on the SSC-32U, and on the BotBoarduino, move the VL jumper to EXT rather than USB. The issue with this approach is when there is a surge in current, the voltage might drop to below what the BBduino needs to operate, causing a brown out.
-
Use a separate 9V battery to power VL on the BBduino, and do not connect VL (BBduino) to VL (SSC-32U). This pretty much ensures that VL receives a steady voltage supply, but most 9V batteries only last for so long.
-
USB: Set the VL jumper to USB and ensure the VL=VS jumper is not in place. DO NOT connect VL (BBduino) to VL (SSC-32U). This is useful for testing.
The errors seem to indicate you don’t have the entire program loaded properly - be sure when opening the sample Phoenix code that you open the Arduino software frist, then choose File -> Open and select the file. You should have many tabs which open at the top. You also need to ensure you have the PS2 library in place.
Ok i try almost everything is any basic simple instruction for just test if my bosrds are good or bad comm test
and servo test based thrue scc32 u and botboarduino thanks
Refer to page 22 for the basic connection between the SSC-32U, BotBoarduino and PS2:

You can connect one servo to pin 0 on the SSC-32U.
Hello
Finally i found the error was the pin distribution on the code was backwards i follow the manual connection but when i check the code was diff position well now my spider is alive thank you
Excellent!
