# Description

LynxTerm is a free downloadable utility, it makes it easy to quickly test all functionality of the SSC-32 Servo Controller.

This program is legacy and is currently not supported.

To install: Just download, unzip, and run the setup (lynx ssc 32 terminal.msi)

# Versions

Download: ltrm111.zip Version: v1.11 Size: 4.29MB Change Log: Same as v1.10, except: Issue Corrected: Firmware V2 PO/QP bug patched within Lynxterm (QP returns 255 instead of 0 at startup if PO activated and value > 0) Old PO bug patch removed from H2 Seq, no more problem using PO registers with SSC-32 V2 Improvement: COM port communication code now fully protected from exceptions (will avoid some very rare program crash). Main form: Pulse trackbar now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation. Macro: Bigger buttons. Support "$Pause x" instruction, with 0 < x < 65536 ms, insert a pause between instructions Support "$Macro x" instruction, x from 0 to 14, to call another macro (infinite loop not allowed) H2 Sequencer: "Link XL/XR" checkbox added to move XL and XR together Auto read Offsets from the SSC-32 V2 registers if detected, else it will use value from saved file. Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation. Registers: New message asking to read new data from registers if the write button was pressed in the H2 Seq form. "Read" and "Write" buttons disables all objects in the form while performing. "Read" and "Write" buttons performs now firstly a SSC-32 V2 recognition as the ones in H2 Seq form. Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.
Download: ltrm110.zip Version: v1.10 Size: 4.29MB Change Log: Same as v1.09, except: Issue Corrected: "All = 1500" button no longer resets pulse offsets. Registers: "Read" button improved. Now pressing "Read" tests to see if EEPROM is initialized; if not, it performs a "RDFLT" command (like pressing the "Default" button). See SSC-32 manual for more about registers and RDFLT command.
Download: ltrm109.zip Version: v1.09 Size: 4.28MB Change Log: Same as v1.08, except: H2 Sequencer: Offset Registers support added for SSC-32 v2 (Atmega 168). Offset increments by 1 instead of 5. All trackbars are now autofocused.
Download: ltrm108.zip Version: v1.08 Size: 4.28MB Change Log: Same as v1.07, except: Registers support for SSC-32 v2 (Atmega 168).
Download: ltrm107.zip Version: v1.07 Size: 4.27MB Change Log: Same as v1.06, except: COM port component rolled back from 3.1 to 3.0 (an effort to fix a known Vista bug with Bluetooth dongle issues). Terminal panel autofocus system removed.
Download: ltrm106.zip Version: v1.06 Size: 4.27MB Change Log: Firmware update process now recognizes new SSC-32 v3 (based on Atmega 168), and firmware version is checked before updating to ensure the correct firmware version is used. Improvement: LynxTerm's full installshield no longer includes the "Params.ini" file (Com port parameters), which avoids overwriting the settings from a previous installation. If this file is missing, the program will rebuild it automatically with default values. Entering the Firmware form now detects the SSC-32's Firmware version again instead of using the one stored upon connection, in order to show up to date information.
Download: ltrm105.zip Version: v1.05 Size: 4.27MB Change Log: Minor aesthetic changes. New "All = 0" button to disable all servos at once. New "Timeout" button, as in RIOS and SEQ. Horizontal channel (pin) chooser hanging bug fixed. Offsets "QP" value bug fixed.
Download: ltrm104.zip Version: v1.04 Size: 4.24MB Change Log: "All = 1500" sets all 32 servos to 1500uS. Long macro word-wrap bug fixed.
Download: ltrm103.zip Version: v1.03 Size: 4.24MB Change Log: Added support for multiple Hexapod config files. Fixed several communication bugs.
Download: ltrm101.zip Version: v1.01 Size: 4.24MB Change Log: Added Pulse-width Offset (PO) command support.
LynxTerm.zip (Initial release. Download a newer version above.) Version: Beta v1.00 Size: 4.24MB Small terminal program written specifically for the SSC-32. Effortlessly test all functionality.
