Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller Board

Electronics Guide

If an RDFLT or R= command is executing, do not power down the SSC-32 until the command

has completed. To determine whether the command has completed, read a register value.

Each time a register is written, the EEPROM location(s) used to store the value experience a

small amount of wearout. The typical maximum number of writes is 100,000. Do not write your

software to rapidly change the register values, or you might cause a permanent wearout of the

EEPROM in the ATMega168 processor.

Description

Examples

STOP <n>

<cr>

0-31

Immediately stops the specified

servo at its current position. A

space is optional before the

servo number.

STOP0 <cr>

STOP 31 <cr>

If the servo is part of a timed move, the other servos will continue moving and a query command

will indicate that the move continues until the total time for the original move has elapsed. This

is true even if all



of the servos in the original move are stopped.

The EER and EEW commands no longer work to access internal EEPROM. They are replaced

by Register Read/Write and Startup String commands. EER and EEW continue to function for

external EEPROM.
