Hi,
I am working on a project. I want to make a C program to control Lynx5(use SSC-12 Ver2.0) but I don’t know how. If you has done, pls help me.
thank you so much
Hey henrykhiem,
Welcome to the Lynxmotion forums!
The easiest way to do it is to setup a serial communication in C. Then send the 3 bytes to the SSC-12. You can find plenty of tutorials and libraries on how to do serial port communication on google.

Hi i see thet you said something about programing the robot in C, i got my lynx 5 few days ago and i am curentlu learning C (just biginer) can you tell me how to program the arm with C but tell me all details.
Thenk.
Hey Nemanja,
Welcome to the forums 
.
I’m going to assume you have one of the modern Lynx5s which comes with a SSC-32.
You have two options for controlling the SSC-32 via C. You can either get a Microchip PICmicro, or any other microcontroller like an Amtel AVR, or you can have the SSC-32 connected to your PC.
With the PC, you would connect the SSC-32 to a serial port, or a serial to USB adapter. Then in your C program you would open up a new serial com connection and send data to the SSC-32 with the movement commands you want. I believe the Lynxmotion RIOS software is able to output the SSC-32 commands used to make a move so you can either use that info or create your own moves manually.
If you search around the forums and website there should be some examples of controlling the SSC-32 via a serial port in C.
With a microcontroller you would also connect to the SSC-32 but via TTL (I believe. Haven’t done this stuff in a year+ =’).
Just search around the forums and lynxmotion’s website. There is a ton of documentation on what you need.
