I have a AH3R robot, SSC32 and Bboard II with a Basic Atom Pro 28.
I receive from Lynxmotion the PS2 remote control at 2.4GHz.
I used the Powerpod software to realized the config files, but when i plug the PS2 controller cable, nothing works !
The two leds on the remote controler are blinding (“analog” and “negcon”) during a time, after this time, they are off, but there is no effects on the legs.
My config is the next:
SSC32:
Baudrate fixed at 38.4 Kbds
The serial connector is plug with Rx and Ground
BBII:
The serial connector is plug with the pin 8 and the ground*
The remote control cable is plugged on 12.13.14 and 15 pins
0- I plug the DB9 on the SSC32 at 115Kbds and the jumpers on Tx/Rx
1- On the PowerPod software, i configure my servos at 1.5ms, then i modified the offset for each servos and save.
2- I upload the main programm to configure the Bboard II and save it (always connected to the SSC32, following the manuel)
3- I upload my file to the Basic Micro Studio and download it on the BBII (I didn’t connect neither the remote cable nor the serial connector to the SSC32)
4- Unplugged the DB9, connecting the serial cable and the remote controller cable, power the remote controler but nothing happend
Sounds like the set up is fine does the ps2 controller conect to the receiver if it does you might want to try the ps2 establishing comunications tut on my ch3-r I had to put a pull up resistor on the dat line but try the tut firs
Sorry you having some issues here. May need more information here and pictures often help. But will give you a few things to try to see if we can get this resolved.
I will often use the simple programs like what are mentioned in the PS2 tutorial: lynxmotion.com/images/html/build034.htm To see if the PS2 and my connections are working properly.
There are several options to powerpod, so should double check to make sure the right ones were choosen for PS2, Atom Pro, Bot Board 2
Look in the generated file for the constants like:
;PS2 Controller / BotBoard II (PS2 controller => pin 12, 13, 14, 15)
DAT con P12
CMD con P13
SEL con P14
CLK con P15
;*** SSC-32 card communication on pin 8 ***
SSC32 con p11
Note: I don’t know if powerpod defaulted here to having the SSC-32 communicate on Pin 8 and I changed it to 11, or if the current configuration has it on 11 but comment was not updated… But you need the SSC32 value to match your wire. (either change constant or move wire)…
C) Try the newer tutorial lynxmotion.com/images/html/build99e.htm. There are programs to download that have some of the newer stuff in it. However it does not have all of the Powerpod built-in sequences like attack.
