Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller Board

Electronics Guide

Tx Rx

The two LEDs next to the USB port provide the user with visual feedback of when data is

received (Rx) and if data is transmitted (Tx). These are only associated with communication via

the USB port and not the XBee header or serial pins.

Serial

The three pins behind the FTDI chip are Tx, Rx and GND. Commands sent from the SSC-32U

are done using the Tx pin while commands to be received by the SSC-32U are done via the Rx

pin. These pins allow you to easily send commands to the servo controller from another

microcontroller. To do so, connect the Tx pin on the microcontroller to the Rx pin on the

SSC-32U, the Rx pin on the microcontroller to the Tx pin on the SSC-32 and GND to GND.
