Hi,
Thanks for all the help in my previous posts.
I now have a working code that works through the RS232 DB9 connector on the Pololu 8 servo SSC. It accurately sends all the commands to the SSC and operates the servos.
However, I’m trying to send signals to the SSC using a computer device that does not have RS232 capabilities, and hence needs to use the TTL logic-level input. I have 2 problems trying to migrate over to the logic level input:
-
Using the same code, sometimes the SSC receives the signal successfully (yellow LED signal goes off, green LED blinks every time signal is sent). At other times, when I reset the SSC (power cycle the 9V SSC battery), the SSC reports an error signal (Red LED lights up, green LED flashes). I know this is supposed to indicate that the Baud rate is too fast, but I’ve set my code to only use a Baud rate of 9600, and sometimes the code works. Any idea why?
-
The second problem I’m facing is that even when I don’t face the above problem, (green LED blinks everytime signal is sent), the servo that I’ve attached, however, only moves for the first time a signal is sent, but subsequent signals get recognised by the SSC but not by the servo that I’ve plugged in.
Please enlighten. Thanks!
