Try the SV203 client/server app. You should be able to run them both on the dome computer and just connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of a "real" ip address. The...
When we go "Public" with our site (at least to our students) I'll shoot you a log in. You might as well get to enjoy your "tax dollars ar work". And thanks for...
Great, I'd love to have a look-see! Did you have a gander at the SV203 client/server to see if it would fit the bill? Are you planning on going to full remote...
Hello, I'm pretty sure there aren't any posts that directly answer this question so here goes. I would like to use a normally open bump switch to change the...
... Yes, you must have a common ground (0V) reference between the two circuits. Your input voltage that you're trying to measure can be from another source...
Ok, this is slightly off-topic, but it's something that every robotics/animatronics buff has to cope with from time to time... I've got a solid plastic model,...
Can you punch it? Of cause you need some support from back side. How thick is plastic? Regards, Mark ... From: Steve Arnold To: Pontech_SV203@yahoogroups.com ...
Use the drill bit that is the same size as the short dimension of the slot, pull it through one end and then using the side of the bit, pull the material down...
I've written some java serial communication classes to interact with my sv203. The general way it's set up is... there's an output queue of messages - each ...
Hi Mark, The plastic in question is about 1/8" thick. I don't own a CNC machine or anything that sophisticated... not sure how I'd punch it? Steve ... in...
Wallace, A couple of things that I recall: 1) There's a 3mS pause that you need to insert between commands. 2) The end of each command is a <CR> or chr$(13) -...
Gah! I'm a noob. Okay I found what my problem was. There are 2 sides of that message queue I was telling you about - the application-side that puts commands ...
Hi, i would like to ask if i can connect 2 SV203 with RS-232 cable and to control from one SV203 using pots the servos of the other SV203. Thanks Dim...
Yes, if one of the SV203's is a SV203B or SV203C. The SV203 base model doesn't have any facility to output anything but a ascii representation of a number out...
I need to drive 4 servos and 4 solid-state relays with a microcontroller, and I am considering doing it through an SV203. I read in the docs that when...
Alex, It sounds like your solid state relays are conveniently opto-isolated (you should be able to confirm this with some spec sheets on your specific device)....
Hi, i bought yesterday a new SV203C (I already have 2 SV203).The problem is that I tried too many times to open the SVBAS program from the disk but is not...
Dim, SVBAS has known issues with XP (DOS mode serial driver problems). Use SVBAS to compile the program and SBC1.1 to program, as detailed in the FAQ (found...
Steve, Thanks for the help. I did what you told me and now everything is working except of that I cannot open and use the SVBAS.exe. I download the program...
Dim, Have you tried running SVBAS within a DOS window? You don't need to modify anything to control servos with pots on the other board, you merely need a...
I recently purchased a SV203C and I am having some communication problems. I have been communicating fine with the board up until a little while ago....
I have a couple of suggestions that may help: 1) Do a hard reset on the board via the jumper (in the manual and in the faq which you'll find in the files...
I am trying to read the voltage of a battery with one of the AD ports but I am getting odd readings. I am an electronics noob so I'm sure that there is...
Josh, Try connecting the other A/D inputs to ground through a resistor (anything from 1k to 10k should work). Seems like you're picking up what I call "A/D...
Hello, I'm writing this message on behalf of the Olympic College Engineering Club, we recently purchased the sv203 serial controller for an ROV that we're...
Matt, My personal program of choice is VB6. Using the MSCOMM control, you can output onscreen slider positions as SVnMx commands. You could probably cobble...
Hi, I just thought of a project for the SV203. It's been a while since I used the SV203. I remember buying a USB to Serial port adapter but I could not get...
Hi Jason, I spent a lot of time working with Java serial communication and a USB-serial converter with the SV203. What OS are you trying it with? My reason ...
