SSC-32 Sequence use

I wrote the following code to see how easy it is to use the seuences stored on the EEPROM on the SSC-32 but it’ very inconsistent . Any thoughts?

void setup( ) {

Serial.begin(38400);

}

void loop( ) {

Serial.println(“PL 1 SQ 1 ONCE”);
delay(5000)
Serial.println(“PL 1 SQ 2 ONCE”);
delay(5000)

}

Can you give us more details about what is happening inconsistently? Are you saying that it is behaving inconsistently between runs, or do you mean that SQ1 is inconsistent with SQ2? Can you send us the sequences that you have programmed into memory?

Also, can you give us more details about how your SSC-32 board is configured? How many servos do you have connected? What are you using for power supply? Do you have one or two power sources?

Sometimes the servos can behave erratically if the SSC-32’s microcontroller is resetting due to an unreliable power source (servos consuming too much power), if the board is using a single power source. For more information about the power options:

Thanks for the reply. By inconsistent I mean that the robot will perform one of the sequences over and over and never run the other or it may switch to the second sequnce and stop half-way through. The robot is the biped scout running 12 servos. The first sequence is a forward gait and the second is a right turn. Both developed using the sequencer software. The power for both boards is through one 9v battery and all servos through LiPo battery pack.

Are you still having this problem? The way that it’s running is really odd… Can you film a short video and send us a youtube link for review?
