The testing I asked you to do does not require any additional items… You have everything right there to do it…
I asked you to measure a voltage. You using mA terminology which is a way to measure current. Measuring current will be a short between the two meter leads!
I’ve tested all slots between pulse and ground I could measure 4.8V except for the 0servo slot (it’s around 0)
On slot 24 I tested everything:
pulse-vs2: 2.5V if I turn of the VL support I measure 5V
vs2-ground: 7.5V
pulse-ground: 5,5V
ok tested now again. now all pins seems to work (I don’t understand how is it possible but on servo 0 pin too)
between ground and pules I can measure constant 4.97V and between
So
I connected only the 9V battery to VL (rs232 not connected, VL=VS1 removed, all other jumpers are on).
I measured voltage between any pulse-ground pins and I measured 4.97V. No difference if I connect power to VS1 or not.
When I connected power to VS1 and connected the rs232 to (led lights) I measure 4.97V
After sending the signal I measured the very same thing, 4,97V (now led doesn’t light).
If you want I can broadcast pictures or a video of it.
I’m at a loss. Yes take pictures. Take closeup pictures of the front and back of the board. As close up as possible. Picture and video, sure anything. I have no idea what is going on.
Are you still able to get a reply when you type VER?
I’ve made the video, now I’m uploading it right now. Someone told me that is is possible that the Atmega168 is partially wrong, and that’s why I can measure 5V on the last 6 legs of it (from 23-28) is it possible?
“I also measured all pulse pins with a ground and I measured about 5V except for pin0 where is only 0.2V I don’t now if it’s natural”
and yes it really did happen.
Alright I’m convinced. If I hadn’t seen it I wouldn’t have believed it. I have never had an SSC-32 fail like that before. Where are you located and who did you purchase from? We need to replace the SSC-32.
No problem I was just a bit frustrated because I felt that I’m a moron
I’ve bought it from here: robotshop.com/lynxmotion-ssc … oller.html
they were the only ones who could deliver to my location. I’m living in Hungary in middle-Europe.
by the way thanks for everyone who tried to help me and also thanks for Robot Dude for replacing it
are we going to continue the conversation here about replacement or via e-mail?
In a local store I can buy this battery. rc-car-online-shop.de/lshop, … 955,.htm
This is a 6.6V LIFE battery. I know the ideal voltage for VS1 would be 6.0V but is it possible to use this without damaging the SSC-32 or the servos? Or even more is it possible to use it on VL with VL=VS1 and VS1=VS2 pins on? If so I’ll buy one thanks for your help once more
Their info says you can connect directly to the receiver. Servos also plug directly into the receiver, so it looks like a really nice battery for robotics! 8)
From their website.
Without any extra regulator, the battery can directly be connected to the receiver. Maximum capacity combined with lowest possible weight – the power of tomorrow!
