I have Lynx 6 arm and RIOS / SSC-32 Arm Control Software. Is there any way to programme the arm with Visual Basic 6.0 (for windows)?
I want to know how i can control the arm with a vb program.
Has anyone tried to do this?
Certaintly.
I haven’t done this myself, but I will be doing it very soon (with VBE.NET and with 802.11b wireles, instead of serial).
I can’t give you the exact methods, since I’m not very experienced with VB, but I can point you in the right direction.
You’ll be using the System.NET.Sockets class.
Once you figure how to send characters to your COM port, the rest is very simple.
Let’s say you wanted to move servo number 4 to its 1.9ms position.
You’d convert “#4 P1900 VbCrLf” (VbCrLf is a carriage return and a line feed), and send it.
The servo controller takes care of the rest.
Hopefully, someone will chime in and tell us that I haven’t lied to you.
