Hi there everyone,
I have rescently bought the lynx 6 arm and its fabulous, i cant keep away from it for 10 minutes.
The arm uses the ssc-32 servo controller but i want to use the ABB with the ssc-32 so that the robot runs autonomous.
Iv searched on the internet for programming the ABB but no software just a manual, does anyone know what programming software it uses? Or does it just use RIOS
Any replies would be much appreciated, Thanks!
Hey,
The ABB is merely a board that holds a separate programmable micro-controller, such ass a basic stamp or baic atom. In other words, in order to use the board, you need to use a micro-controller with it. The board just makes it easier to interface between the micro-controller and other modules.
If you go to lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=66 and scroll down beneath the board, you’ll see the 4 available chips that you can program.
Hope this helps!
I use the ABB with a Basic Atom Pro 28-M micro-controller.
You can purchase it from lynxmotion at

You can also download the IDE (integrated development environment) from www.basicmicro.com
The IDE comes integrates all you need to write your program in Basic or C, to communicate with the board and to debug your programs.
The RIOS will only communicate with the SSC-32 servo controller. However it will generate code for the basic atom (servo commands), that you can use with the Atom Pro
