Version 2.2 is now available - 6/19/2009

This application allows you to create scripts for sending commands to the SSC32 controller.

With this application you can:

Use a template to create servo commands
Send individual or group servo commands to the controller
Execute a sequence of commands
Do a continuous loop on a series of commands
Save xml command scripts that you can replay later or send to others
Monitor commands going to and from the serial port
Send commands to monitor sensor output

Updates

SSC32 Servo Controller Software v2.2 - Visual Basic .NET - Released 6/19/2009

Bug fix - A bug was introduced in v2.1 that stopped the play option from working. If you downloaded v2.1 you should replace it with v2.2 (frmPose.vb).

SSC32 Servo Controller Software v2.1 - Visual Basic .NET - Released 5/5/2009

Bug fix - Removed odd character sometimes appending to the end of the com port names (CommManager.vb).
Added ability to read Analog Sensor data and display results.

SSC32 Servo Controller Software v2.1 - Visual Basic .NET - Released 5/5/2009

Bug fix - Removed odd character sometimes appending to the end of the com port names (CommManager.vb).
Added ability to read Analog Sensor data and display results.

When entering a command for viewing analog data a graphic will display showing the analog value returned.

Step By Step.

1. Click the generate button to create a command line.
2. Type over the command with VA.
3. Click the Loop check box.
4. Click Play.

This will loop the command to read the analog value coming back from the ssc32. You can also enter VA VB VC VD on the command line to pull back values from all analog sensor inputs.

A simple control to move servos with a slider control.

Do you have an executable available? I'm having trouble building it from VB Express 2008.

I need someone to test this install of the SSC32 Servo Controller Software v2.2 - Visual Basic .NET
http://www.otherrobots.com/OtherRoboticsInstalls/ssc32.exe
and install of the SERV-O-MATIC Slider

Please let me know if these work or not. The links above will probably change but they are the production executables.

SERV-O-MATIC Serial Port Config v1.1

Console application that searches for an SSC32 and displays the serial port and baud rate that the SSC32 is using.

The application takes three optional command line arguments:
Name, Category, Model
ServoMaticSerialPortConfig.exe "My Cool Phoenix" "Hexapod" "Phoenix"

It also creates a serial port configuration settings file that can be read by other applications. The file is located in the documents directory under "My SSC32\SerialPortConfig.xml" and also creates an XML Schema SerialPortConfig.xsd.

The application implements the class SerialPortConfig.vb that can be copied for use in other applications to both read from and write to the configuration file.

Here is the XML file:


The application can be downloaded here.

You can run it directly from the executable here. You don't need to have an SSC32 to try it. It will just search the comm ports and not find it.
