Rios And Bluetooth

Lynxmotion Electronics & Software

Hello,
I would control my AL5-D robotic arm with a Sparkfun Bluesmirf adapter. I make this for a looong time with my Hexapod “MeanGreen” and the Visual SEQ SSC-32 Software. This works PERFECT!!
But with Rios, the only thing that worked ist the connection between the software and the SSC-32. The Software found the SSC, i could load in the “SSC-32 config” my CFG-File, enable my Servos - everything is fine. But if i leave the config site to “Play Mode” i became a error message that means all my servos are dissabled???
Back to config - Thats true… all servos of… ??? enable all again… enter play mode… the same error message… WHY??? :cry:

in SEQ software i never have this problem, so why in Rios?

i hope you could help me… PLEASE

btw. i test some other Bluetooth adapters all works fine in SEQ software and no one works in RIOS. :cry:

In RIOS, the connection between itself and the SSC-32 is just a matter of finding an available serial port. There could be several things happening. For instance:
[list=]
*] RIOS is finding another serial port that is not an SSC-32
*] RIOS is trying to communicate at another baudrate then your adapter is expecting.
[/list]

What com port number is the bluetooth adapter being assigned?

Note: I don’t have a copy of Rios to try it out, but there may be a set of timeouts that are configured in it that you might experiment with to see if that helps. I have a vague recollection of people playing with the timeouts for some adapters and wiports… I think it is in the Arm with Rios tutorial.
