Hi guys,
I have an ardunio uno, can I use that with a ssc 32 to run a hexapod I am making?

Thanks,
George

The difference between a botboarduino and an Uno? Processors are the same, The BotBoarduino is more or less the same as an Duemilanove. That is it uses an FTDI chip to do the USB to serial conversion… The other differences are that the Botboarduino has other supporting hardware (Speaker, Buttons, LEDS) and power buses, with 3 pin servo headers, that the Uno does not have.

But yes you can use an UNO. Just the wiring may be a bit different as you don’t have 3 pin servo like connectors.

Also if you are going to use a PS2, It may simply work on the Arduino, but I have found even using the same brand/model PS2 controller, like the V1 Lynxmotion PS2, that on some of them I needed to add an external Pull-up resistor to the data line, that the built-in Arduino PU was not strong enough. That is why the Botboarduino has an optional one that you can choose to enable by jumper.
