Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller Board

Electronics Guide

Overview

The Lynxmotion SSC-32U is a versatile and easy to use R/C servo controller, the core of which

is an Atmel ATmega328p. Features include:

● USB, serial or XBee input

● Control up to 32 servo motors

● Built-in 12DoF hexapod sequencer

● 8 analog input pins

● Easy to understand command protocol

● Advanced features

● Ideal for use with robot arms or legged robots

● Compatible with FlowBotics Studio graphical software

Note that the SSC-32U is a dedicated servo controller; as such, the board is not meant to be

“programmed” (or store code which a user creates) but instead simply receives and executes

commands sent to it from an external device such as a computer or microcontroller. Using a

dedicated servo controller frees up memory on a microcontroller which would be used to

constantly update the servos’ positions.

The SSC-32U is based largely on the SSC-32. The user guide for the SSC-32 can be found
