Hi all,
I have a little question here:
If i use only a SSC-32 on my bot and use 2 xBee (One to the PC and one to the ssc-32, or one to a BOTBoard in a custom transmitter)
i can run the same program as if there was a botboard on my robot, but wirelessly ?
Maybe i am not clear…
If you are using 2 XBees, one connected on your xbee and the other connected to the SSC-32 and they are matched correctly (the DL of one is the ID of the other…) and they are running in standard serial mode (not packet mode), than yes you can run your robot as if it was connected to the pc through a serial wire. You just need to use the proper comm port on the PC and make sure that the appropriate baud rates are set.
The only limitation may be, that you probably can not update the firmware on the SSC-32 over the XBees…

I’m running a wireless X-Bee setup on my bot, I have it setup to run the ABB to SSC32 wireless and PC to SSC323 wireless at the same time, the reason for this was to have the bot do it’s thing autonomously ( walking and such ) and also at the same time have the PC process video info thru Robot Realm and send back serial data to a couple of servo channels on the SSC32. It all works great, the X-bee’s do the traffic control for the mixed ABB + PC serial data.
