Connecting Via Serial Cable (for discontinued SSC-32, RB-Lyn-100)
The simplest way to connect is directly using an RS232 to USB cable. Here are the steps you need to
follow in order to set this up.
STEP 8 Connect the RS232 connector to the SSC-32 board on your robot
STEP 9 Plug the USB connector into the PC
STEP 10 Power on the robot
STEP 11 Start the FlowArm PLTW 4 software
STEP 12 The port selector is set to Automatic (AUTO) by default and will scan through the
available ports until it finds the one connected to the SSC-32. The Auto light will
flash when searching.
STEP 13 When the board has been found the Auto light will illuminate permanently and so
will the Found light. The selector will show the COM port that is being used.

If for some reason the software can't find the board then if you know which COM
port it's on you can choose this manually from the COM port selector.
