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.
