I am building an arm and using an SSC-32 to contorl it, i thought i read that this would accept analog and (maybe?) digital inputs as well… could a PS2 controller be used with the servo controller?
Hey,
It can not be used directly. You would need some sort of micro (ABB w/ BA for example) to read data from the PS2 controller and then output to the SSC-32 the servo movements.
Yes, the SSC-32 has four analog inputs and the servo pins can be used as digital I/O.
However, the SSC-32 can not process the analog and digital inputs it has. The inputs have to be read and processed by a microcontroller or computer. It could not be used directly with a PS2 controller.
The SSC-32 must be connected to a microcontroller (on an Atom Bot Board, for instance) or a PC to do anything useful. It only responds to commands sent to it.
