Hi, I’ve been up all night trying to get this to work, but nothing. I got the SSC-32 in the mail today, but didn’t want the visual sequencer…
I’m realizing i may need it, but its cost combined with the horrible shipping experiences I’ve had with Lynxmotion, i just don’t want to buy it…
My question, is there a program that works with equal features, i tried the free flowstone based program, but it wouldn’t recognize the board… i just want this bot to walk, can someone just give me, link me, send me a program/code to get this thing to run please…
Anything this bot has been sitting idle for weeks…
P.S. I got lynxterm to work, just not LynxSeq
Hello Quinn,
Thanks for brightening my morning with your cheerful post. 
Lynxmotion is a robot kit company, not a shipping company. Not sure what the problem is, but if we are at fault, I offer you my apology.
If you want help with any of the programs we offer for free just ask. They do work. I have a person on staff to do this. We just have to know that there is a problem before we can, you know… fix it.
We will help you if you are rude or nice, but it’s much more fun helping nice folks. 
Hey, I’m sorry if I sounded rude, I wasn’t aiming to be haha
I’m having a problem with the sequencing software (the free version) to register that it’s connected to an SSC-32…
The newest version also lags when I move boxes or click on things…
Is there a premade sketch that has been made to make the scout move, let alone walk?
Devon is looking at the program. Is it never connecting or intermittent or what exactly? If you seriously want help we are going to need to know what PC, make and model, laptop or desktop, USB to serial cable info. You do realize that the virtual com port can only connect with one program at a time right?
We do not have any code for making the bot walk. The code used for the video on our website was lost a long time ago. We state on the Scout product page that we do not have any code for this. I’m also not sure if anyone has posted Scout code here. I know that you just don’t want to buy SEQ, and that you just want the bot to walk, but I just don’t know what to tell ya.
Don’t know if you have a BB-II on the Scout, or if you would want to run it from a PC.
If you can write programs for the PC, then you could develop scrips (lists of joint moves) to be sent to the SSC32. If the Scout has a BB-II or other processor board on it, then code (probably Basic) could be written for it in a similar fashion.
I did Loki (find project somewhere on this forum, or in SERVO Magazine a year or two back), which is a really simple 4-servo walker. Code was in C, not basic, but essentially I wrote a control program for the PIC board I had on it, and that program executed lists of moves for each of the four joints. My code (not released) wouldn’t work directly for you or a Scout, but you get the picture.
So where are you in programming skills? Give us a run-down on what exactly you have for hardware, what level you are at, and what you’d like to do.
There is a spread sheet program that might be adapted somewhere on the LM website.

Hey thanks for the quick replies, i have an Asus CG tower, 64 bit desktop
I know that only one com works, i’m using a gigaware usb to seral cable, it works perfectly for everything else, but not for this one program, it constantly reads NOT CONNECTED.
I am able to write code pretty well, mainly for Arduino, there was an Arduino attached at one point, but i just want to control it directly from the PC
Look at the SSC-32 while the program is open. Is the green light solid on, blinking, or off?
Hey, just checked everything out, the SSC-32 blinks when uploading data from Lynxterm, but from the Flowstone Sequencer project, nothing happens… The light stays on in the idle, no data received, state. I’ve tried reassigning COM ports, it’s set to 1, I’ve tried rebooting and re-installing the software…
As i said above, i’m a novice when it comes to writing code, i can get along pretty well in Arduino but that’s it.
I want to get this robot working and walking correctly before I start rearranging it for other projects. Can someone steer me in the right direction maybe…?
I think the third law of thermodynamics basically says there is no free ride. You probably need to seriously consider buying the software for the pc that allows movement sequences to be recorded and then replayed. Otherwise you will need to write the code yourself to make your bot walk.
Ha-ha yes, i think i’m almost halfway through writing code for an Arduino interface.
