Ubuntu Distro

Is possible use ssc-32 on ubuntu notebook?

Have you tried wine?

I don’t think you need to resort to wine, unless you’re trying to run the lynxterm or something. The lynxterm is a fantastic program for interfacing with the SSC-32, but any terminal program that can talk to the rs232 port of your system should be able to talk to the ssc-32…

You just need standard TTL level logic (through the header) or RS232 level (through the DB9) to talk to the SSC-32. Refer to the manual for baud rate setting and string syntax…

Ooops, sorry. I confused the SSC-32 Sequencer (software) with the SSC-32 Servo Controller (hardware)

Wine is to use windows software on linux. If you only want use SSC-32 Servo Controller, you only need to use serial communications, as tom_chang79 has written.

If you have Ubuntu then it should already have python installed. There’s some example code in the SSC-32 forum on writing/reading serial commands to it with python.

The SSC-32 can be used from any distro of Linux. It only requires serial communication to work, and it can be controlled using any programming language.

I wrote some of the first examples of using the SSC-32 with Linux and Python. :smiley: The same basic control scheme should be possible using any language that can use serial ports, and with any operating system.

Python is a requirement for any recent distro of Linux, since at least some development and maintenance scripts are written with it.
