I've noticed a problem crop up recently with one of my projects. I'm using two servos - Specifically, a futaba S5301 and an S3104. when they're both hooked ...
I will caveat this with the fact I haven't messed with my SV203 for a year or so, so _please_ be sure to read the users manual for the '203 This is almost...
I am attempting to contruct wheel encoders for a robot. I have some IR LED/Phototransistor pairs that will be used to generate a series of pulses when the...
Although I certainly appreciate your spirit of ingenuity, I think you might be barking up the wrong tree on this one. What you're doing really calls for an...
I recently purchased an SV203B servo controller and have been quite happy with it. I have minimal knowledge of microcontrollers so this will probably be a...
Yes your downloaded program will work anthill board is powered. Or if you switch off power and switch it on again you need to send RUN command. Mark From:...
The easiest way to turn autorun on and off is by writing to EEPROM with a WE command rather than mess with programming flags. EEPROM location 15 is the autorun...
Sorry, I didn't address your other questions... Once downloaded, your program remains on-board at all times, until you either overwrite it, or do a board...
I have an sv203bc and recently I ran into the problem of having to move too many servos at one time. They would twitch when I'd try to do this, so I read up...
Change your battery supplying "main" power to the board. I suspect you half-drained it with your experiments to date, and it's beyond the brownout point of the...
Wow....I keep on having problems! Ok, so I attatched a 9V battery to it and sure enough that fixed it. Now something even weirder has happened. 2 of the 6...
Ok, they aren't fried. Well, they might be, but I doubt it. They're a pretty tough and forgiving item, barring the dreaded grinding noise for lengthy periods. ...
I've tried that, both in DOS and in windows and still nothing. Again all they do is make one small click when i plug them in and that is it. I've also tried...
So if you plug a "working" servo into the channel, it works, but if you unplug that one and plug in one of your suspected "duds", it doesn't work? Can you...
I have a couple of questions about the SV203's power. First, what is the maximum voltage I can use to power the board? I've seen up to 15V mentioned by...
Rich, This all assumes that you've done the power isolation for servos. It depends. Just what you wanted to read, right? The maximum power dissipation of the...
Hi all, I just got a hold of a SV203B, a servo, connector cable, and battery, and am trying to get the servo to respond to any command from HyperTerminal or...
Hi Emily, First, make sure you're not running with 4AA batteries. Use a 9V battery instead. After you've verified that you're connected to the board, you can...
This is just a reminder to those of you who haven't ventured there, or are new - there ARE freebie programs for use with the SV203 series in the FILES area....
Hello my friends, I'll be brutally honest. I have never done anything like this before. I have a little experience using a Parallax PIC board to control a ...
Hi all! I am trying to control my SV203 board via hyperterminal, but cannot succeed. I use bauderate 19200, port 1, 8 bytes, 1 stopbit, no parity. And then i...
Paulina, The default baud rate for the SV203 is 9600. Give that a shot. Or download the ComtestSV203 program from the files (Pontech Control folder) area, it...
Kat, For the JP1 cut, take a look at the FAQ. It answers that question directly (no pictures though). If you're using 8 independent relays, then you'll need 8...
We have moved the PONTECH wiki... Currently it is accessible at: http://pontech.globedrop.com It is publicly viewable and if a login account is created it can...
I just received a pontech SV203. I connect the board to the serial port without connecting a servo, then I connect the power supply (6 V) and run one of the...
