SSC32 and Sequencer

You can send a move command then query the SSC-32 to see if the move is still in progress. Then send a new move when it’s complete. This will add a little (~20mS) delay in between movements though.

How do you qwery the SSC-32? This would be helpful for me.

Yo Mike, RTFM lol

Just kidding…

[code]Query Movement Status.

Example: "Q "

This will return a “.” if the previous move is complete, or a “+” if it is still in progress.

There will be a delay of 50uS to 5mS before the response is sent.

What does RTFM mean? Read The Forum Man?

I presume that this Query command has been implemented in sequencer to handle the commands sequence right ?

Do you think I need to use it if i would like to “control” servos in realtime ? I mean, if I would like to find a particuoar pose and then set it as a keyframe… or if I want to make a show and dempnstrate how the animatronic moves accordine for example with a dataglove movements, I should check time by time changes in controller movements ( joystick, glove or whatever ) and pass the relative offset changes to the ssc32…

I think that lynxmotion should consider the idea of creating a demo version with the control of two/three servos only… so that people can check if is the right app for needs

I’m not sure if SEQ uses it or not. It’s easy for the PC to keep track of how much time has elapsed after sending a servo move command. So it can certainly know when the last commanded servo move has completed and simply issue a new one.

We have made a tutorial for the BRAT.
