The Lynxmotion SSC-32U USB Servo Controller is the latest version of the very popular SSC-32 servo controller board. It has a USB port, an Xbee socket, improved power circuit, and a many other improvements.
Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller
The Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller is a small preassembled servo controller with some big features. It has high resolution (1uS) for accurate positioning, and extremely smooth moves. The range is 0.50mS to 2.50mS for a range of about 180°. The motion control can be immediate response, speed controlled, timed motion, or a combination. A unique "Group Move" allows any combination of servos to begin and end motion at the same time, even if the servos have to move different distances. This is a very powerful feature for creating complex walking gaits for multi servo walking robots. The servo's position or movement can be Queried to provide feedback to the host computer.
There is even a 12 servo Hexapod sequencer built in. This allows complete control of all aspects of the alternating tripod gait simply by transferring a few values from the host controller. Any output pin can be used as a TTL level output. There are 8 analog inputs pins for reading sensor values, and 6 of them can be used as static or latched digital inputs, so you don't have to worry about missing a short event.
The new SSC-32U board has improved power and communication management. The board still has three terminal blocks, but the new power circuit means that most of the time you will only need to use VS1. With the new board, the logic circuits have large capacitors to protect against brownouts, and the logic has auto power select so the VL=VS1 jumper isn't needed anymore. For communication, in addition to having USB on-board, the SSC-32U has an Xbee socket for easy use with wireless devices such as XBees and Bluetooth.

Features:
- 32 channels of 1uS resolution servo control
- Bidirectional communication with Query commands
- Synchronized, or "Group" moves
- 12 Servo Hexapod Gait Sequencer built in
- MiniSSC-II emulation, like having 4 of them
SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility (created using FlowBotics Studio)
The Lynxmotion SSC-32 Servo Controller board can be easily controlled with the new SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility. It is available as a free downloadable utility which makes it easy to experiment with robotics and animatronics. It can be found in the Useful Links section.
This utility is an example of the type of program which can be built using FlowBotics Studio (Download) , which includes this program as an open source demo project. The SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility program enables you to easily move servo motors, calibrate their position, store and playback motion sequences, upgrade the SSC-32 firmware and more.

Il existe certains produits que Review Stars ne peut jamais suffire à couvrir. C'est un de ces produits. Cinq étoiles? pffft, quelle Limitation !!! C'est un produit qui pourrait facilement tripler le nombre d'étoiles et ce ne serait toujours pas suffisant. Les produits sont arrivés en boîte, bien emballés et en bon état. Cela comprenait plusieurs cartes contrôleur SSC-32U ainsi que d'autres appareils et modules à utiliser dans de futurs projets. Les SSC-32 ont été sélectionnés en fonction de l'utilisation historique de la carte SSC d'origine dans les prototypes précédents. La fonctionnalité améliorée des SSC répond aux besoins des projets en cours, qui incluent le test d'un système d'exploitation d'interface autonome. Ces cartes doivent fournir des fonctions de locomotion à deux plates-formes prototypes distinctes, l'une basée sur un ESP32 et la seconde basée sur un STM32. Le même système d'exploitation s'exécute sur les deux MCU, ce qui est l'intention du projet, afin de valider le système d'exploitation par rapport à plusieurs MCU différents. Les SSC fournissent les capacités de locomotion à chaque plate-forme. Ces servo-contrôleurs sont les meilleurs et les plus faciles à utiliser, c'est pourquoi ils sont toujours sélectionnés pour les plates-formes prototypes passées et présentes. Ils offrent à la division de développement d'Acigan International la possibilité de se concentrer sur le projet, qui est le système d'exploitation lui-même, et non sur la fonctionnalité de pulsation et de minutage de la gestion des servos. Les SCC exécutent leur magie d'asservissement, laissant le système d'exploitation n'émettre que ses commandes de haut niveau ou s'enquérir de l'état actuel des instructions précédemment envoyées à un SSC. Si vous recherchez le nec plus ultra en matière de servocommande. Aucune autre carte contrôleur ne peut égaler la puissance et la simplicité du SSC-32U. Acigan International a également fourni des commentaires détaillés directement à RobotShop concernant les améliorations futures des cartes déjà excellentes, basées sur l'expérience passée et présente et sur les utilisations ou améliorations futures des conceptions SSC, et attend avec impatience toutes les suggestions de commentaires qui pourraient trouver leur dans toutes les révisions d'un produit déjà excellent. Continuez votre bon travail, RobotShop. Et encore une fois, merci à votre équipe là-bas, pour toutes les informations que vous avez fournies au cours de nos conversations.

Je suis nouveau dans l'animatronique. ce produit a été recommandé pour commencer et il était très facile à installer et à utiliser.
Works great no problem setting up the board
Fonctionne très bien pas de problème pour configurer la carte
This is a second SSC-32U for me. It is a backup for the one on the LynxMotion AL5D Robotic Arm that I have. Also, it is my standalone unit for development testing. The Speed and Time command options are fantastic, not something you see in other micro-controllers
