Hi John:
I've used the HB to send serial command strings to a Mini SSC (for the
Lynxmotion arm). I built a tiny daughterboard with a MAX232 that plugged
into J6 on the board for power. Software handshaking is minimal and the
MiniSSC works fine. If I didn't already have the Mini SSC, I'd use a Stamp
to control the servos, as the Duncan Orthner suggested.
If anyone wants to go the HB -> Mini SSC -> RC servo route, let me know and
I'll post the code and wiring diagram.
Cheers,
- Mike

I am considering using two MiniSSC II servo controllers from Lynxmotion
(http://www.lynxmotion.com) to control the servos on a six leg walker
using the handyboard as the CPU. The only problem is that the MiniSSC
uses asynchronous serial communication. Is it possible to use the
asynchronous serial port on the handyboard (possibly by using a
mutliplexer to choose between the servo controllers and PC comms).
Thanks in advance for any help.

| Mike -- Doesn't the Mini SSC have a TTL-levels mode, making the MAX232 unnecessary? Please send your serial output code, though. that would be good to distribute. -Fred In your message you said: (...) (27 years ago, 21-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
