SV203
- Operation of Board
Connect the servos to the board, plug in the RS-232 cable to a
COM port of a PC and the other end to the SV203. Power the
board and the servos should return to the neutral position. Run the
example programs.
The SV203 processes information one ASCII string command at a
time. Each command string follows the format:
L n L n … <enter>
(maximum of 20 characters/line)
Where L is the command letter(s) in caps, n is a decimal integer
number(s), and <enter> is ASCII 13. Please refer to Command
Listing Page (p.26) for a complete listing.
For example, the commands to select a board, select a servo and
move to a position are BD, SV, and M, respectively. If your want
to move servo #3 of a board with an ID number equal to 1 to
position 85, you would send the flowing command string.
BD1SV3M85 <enter>
The commands can also be separated by spaces or commas for ease
of reading.
BD1 SV3 M85 <enter>
or
BD1,SV3,M85 <enter>
or
BD 1 SV 3 M 85 <enter>
A terminal program may be used to test the functions of the board.
The default setting on the board is 9600 baud, N81, with echo off.
(A program called TERM.EXE is provided as a simple terminal like
software to test the SV203 functions).
