Hi, I’ve read the general troubleshooting guide and I still haven’t been able to resolve my issue.
I purchased a complete kit, Lynxmotion Phoenix hexapod with the ssc-32 board. I have attached all the servo connections, run the main power and the logic power. I didn’t have an external serial connector on my machine so I rummaged around the robotics lab and found this:
My motherboard is an Asus P7H55-M Pro, viewable here.
Windows device manager confirms I do have a single com connection, and to my knowledge, it is the white, 9-pin connector in the top right hand corner of the “above” view. I’ve attached my cable to this port and run it to the back of the machine where I attached a serial extension cable and ran it to the robot.
Windows device manager does not recognize it as a com, and instead adds an unsupported “PCI Simple Controller” to the list of devices. No drivers found.
When power is applied to the board, the green LED comes on and occasionally a leg will kick, so power looks good and connections look solid on the board. However, no signal is ever received from the serial cable.
The Lynxmotion software cannot find the ssc-32 board. I have tried baud jumping with no success.
Okay, I know its long, but in these situations more information is better than less. Thanks for any help y’all can provide and PLEASE tell me I’m just blind and I’ve missed something obvious, my ego will be fine if it means progress on my project. Thanks all.
