Hi,
I am using SSC Emulation mode and my analog servos will only hold position for on a second.
Is there a way to continuously hold a position like the Mini-SSC without looping?
Thanks,
Scott
From your description you are powering the SSC-32 with a supply that is not sufficient to power the servos AND the electronics. The servos draw too much current and the SSC-32 resets, (stops sending pulses). So can you go into more detail as to your power setup?
All jumpers are removed.
The power is coming from an new 450Watt PC Power Supply, 5VDC being applied to both servo’s and SSC-32. In monitoring the power for all actions, there is no fluctuation in the 5VDC.
I will connect the VS1 to a different power source and see if that corrects the issue.
Check the manual for the SSC-32. It states the input for VL is 6.0vdc to 9.0vdc. 5.0vdc is too low. 
It will do more to use a different supply for the VL rather than VS.
ok. v1 (back in 2005) seemed to work well with 5VDC, I’ll need to build a new regulator circuit then…
Cheers,
Scott
The V1 was the Mega 8 processor, but the current version uses the Mega 168 processor. It has a higher reset voltage. So yes the old SSC-32 would work down to 5vdc.
If the power supply is regulated at 5v, then you might try directly powering the board by connecting to one of the +5v pins on the board and skip going thru the regulator (but I haven’t tried this my self).
There is no reason that wouldn’t work. There are only two places the 5vdc line is accessible by a header pin. They are across from the A and the C input pins.
