Arduino and SSC32- DFRobot Forum

2012-09-06 04:21:02 Hector,

Did yo u find the schematics for the SSC32?

Just so you know I raise same question in Arduino forum and thay are asking me for that info.

See conversation...

Thanks Marcos margomael

2012-08-31 16:40:00 Hi,

not for your particular implementation. Most people if they plan to use a PC will use just the PC rather than an arduino attached to it. Hector

2012-08-31 04:09:50 Thanks again Hector.

That makes sense now. Do you know of any tutorial about the subject?

Thanks margomael

2012-08-30 16:29:41 Hi Margomael,

Yes it should be possible.

You will need to connect your MEGA to the PC and connect whatever wireless module to the MEGA's Serial 1,2, or 3. Not to Serial 0. Because the the USB will be using Serial 0.

2012-08-30 01:01:08 Hi,

Thanks guys for your answers.

Sorry to ask this again... So the option to connect the Arduino Mega to my PC and talk wireless to the hexapod (SSC32) is not possible? I still need to connect cables to Tx/Rx?

Thanks margomael

2012-08-27 19:26:14 I would suggest using the APC since it is easier to setup than bluetooth, but bluetooth has it's advantages, you can use an android phone to communicate.

The wireless module (which ever you choose) will communicate through the serial port of the SSC32. So if you connect the other wireless module to your pc you can control the servos directly from the PC. If you connect it to another Arduino you will need to send the serial commands for the servos from the Arduino to the SSC32.

I will look for the schematics and send them to you tomorrow. Hector

2012-08-26 04:02:32 Hi, what I will like is to "avoid" the need to mount my arduino Mega on my robot (hexapod) and have only the SSC32. Is this possible and how to interact with BT and APC220.

Also do you know where I can find a technical spec ans schematics of the board?

Thanks margomael

2012-08-24 16:52:42 Margomael,

The Arduino MEGA has 4 Serial ports, if the only issue is "saving" the main serial port (0), you could try using Serial 1, 2, or 3...

Otherwise, probably APC is your best bet since you do not need to do any "handshaking" like you would have to with Bluetooth.

Again, I would recommend you use a different serial port on the MEGA, anyways, you MUST use the Rx, Tx pins for all serial communication, there is no way around that, even the wireless modules will use these pins. Hector

2012-08-24 01:05:51 Hi,

I've got an Arduino Mega and your SSC32 servo controller. I will like to know how I can connect wireless this two so I don't needt to connect TX from Arduino to RX on SSC32. It says on the spec of the SSC32 that it has got bluetooth and APC220.

Thanks for your help. margomael
