Hello every one, I am doing a robot tank project, which has 4 servo motors can control the movement of the tank, Now if i need a ssc-32 servo controller , i have questions below:
what sofeware i can use for programming the servo controller to the motors ?? can RIOS do the job??? Do I need write the actual code for this ???
i am tring to use *PS2 Robot controller *to control the robot movement through the ssc-32 controller board. So is there any software i can use for programming the PS2 Robot controller tothe ssc-32 controller ???
3)our project robot tank has to be controlled through the blueteeth wireless signal , and if i got blueteeth module, i am not sure if not the robot controller can communicate with the blueteeth, in order to control the movement of robot tank.
i also wanna add an Infrared transmitter and receiver , as the shooting device , can i add them to this ssc-32 controller ??
I’ll try to answer some of your questions but keep in mind that I am not much of an expert!
Any language platform will do, as long as they support serial port communication. And yes you are required to do ‘some’ programming.
As far as I know, it’s not a very good idea. It is probably doable, since SSC-32 has 4 I/O pins, but you should consider purchasing a microcontroller for that. I’ll pass this question to the next person I don’t have a very good answer for this.
One thing though, if you are using bluetooth to control your robot, you probably wouldn’t need to buy a seperate controller for your robot; a keyboard and a mouse should be able to do the job just as good if not better!
Yes, you can use bluetooth for serial communication between SSC-32 and PC.
Yes, you can use one of the 4 I/O pins from SSC-32.
I strongly suggest you to read SSC-32 manual first. Internet now-a-days have all the resources you could ever possibly need, and a lot of programming is already done by someone else and available for you as open source.
I don’t have a very good answer for this.
