What board to use

What board do you guys use to control 21 servos??

SSC-32 Servo Controller

Right?

Will this board run code as well? or i need to get one of those Bot Board II as well??

Edit: nvm i see that the Bot Board II by it self will run 20 servos… Umm i need to run 21… how can i get that extra servo moving?

21 servos, I would for sure go toward the SSC-32, alternatively you could go for an Arc32 (basicmicro.com/ARC32_p_141.html)

Cool thanks, can the SSC-32 take code? i see that they have their own software but i wasnt sure if you can actually manual code it…

Also any reason to get the Arc32 instead of the ssc-32?

There have been only a few people who have tried to write alternative code for the SSC-32, better off adding a processor like an Basic Atom Pro on a BB2, or an Arduino…

One reason for SSC-32 is that it can handle up to 32 servos and you can/must write the code to do whatever you wish for it to do… The code can be in their normal Basic or if you are brave you can do it in C, but very little support for this (ie, only standard GCC libraries)

So in can use an arduino to control the SSC-32? would i still need 32 pins?

the SSC32 is a servo controller that take serial command.
So anything that can talk with it by serial will work.
That include Arduino, BB2 and all others :slight_smile:
