Hello,
I just bought a ssc32. That worked during 5’ with the flowbiotics studio.
When i pushed the update firmware button, the software crashed, the light on
The ssc32 Turned off And now my ssc32 doesn’t work…
PLEASE HELP ME, i need it for a student project.
I think that maybe a firmware project???
Many thanks
( sorry for my english, i’m French)

Please note: the LED on the SSC-32 is not a power indicator, but it will be on when you first power it up. It will then flash on and off as the SSC-32 sees data. So if you remove power from it and then put power back on, does the LED come on?
If it were me, I would try the following:
Have your SSC-32 connected up to a PC, through so form of cable. These days most likely this will be a USB to serial cable. Find out what Comm port that the board is found at. Several ways to do this, depending on what OS you are running.
I would probably use Lynxterm ( lynxmotion.com/p-567-free-do … xterm.aspx). Why it is hard to find up on the web site, I am not sure. But this is a simple app, that is setup to talk to this. Set the correct Communication port and click on setup. Make sure the baud rate is set to 115200. Also make sure the board is configured for 115200 (both baud rate jumpers installed). Then with all of this setup click on the connect button. It has been awhile, but it might show you what version of firmware you have. If not you should be able to type:
ver
in the terminal window and it should respond with the appropriate data. If this works you know that things are working. Hopefully it is. If not I would start to debug farther, like remove any other wires/servos connected. Check power connections and if battery powered that you have sufficient battery charge. Lynxterm also allows you to upload new versions of the firmware to the SSC-32. you can get these versions from the SSC-32 product page: lynxmotion.com/p-395-ssc-32- … oller.aspx
Note: you probably can do all of this with the with the flowbotics studio apps, like the SSC-32 Servo Sequencer, but I have not played around with it much so… Glad to see it can now at least detect what actual comm ports are on the computer.
Thanks Kurt.
I will try to use the lynxterm because if i remote power, and put the power back, the LED doesn’t come on.
Have a good day
