11 -LynxTerm is a free downloadable utility, it makes it easy to quickly test all functionality of the SSC-32 Servo Controller.
11 +PowerPod is a free downloadable utility. PowerPod makes it easy to quickly create custom Basic Atom programs for your H3/H3-R robot. The control options are: autonomous, PS2 remote control, and TTL serial control from a PC, PDA, or any other microcontroller. Many other control parameters can easily be modified with this utility.

23 -**Change Log:**
24 -
25 -Same as v1.10, except:
26 -
27 -* Issue Corrected:
28 -** Firmware V2 PO/QP bug patched within Lynxterm (QP returns 255 instead of 0 at startup if PO activated and value > 0)
29 -** Old PO bug patch removed from H2 Seq, no more problem using PO registers with SSC-32 V2
30 -* Improvement:
31 -** COM port communication code now fully protected from exceptions (will avoid some very rare program crash).
32 -* Main form:
33 -** Pulse trackbar now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.
34 -* Macro:
35 -** Bigger buttons.
36 -** Support "$Pause x" instruction, with 0 < x < 65536 ms, insert a pause between instructions
37 -** Support "$Macro x" instruction, x from 0 to 14, to call another macro (infinite loop not allowed)
38 -* H2 Sequencer:
39 -** "Link XL/XR" checkbox added to move XL and XR together
40 -** Auto read Offsets from the SSC-32 V2 registers if detected, else it will use value from saved file.
41 -** Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.
42 -* Registers:
43 -** New message asking to read new data from registers if the write button was pressed in the H2 Seq form.
44 -** "Read" and "Write" buttons disables all objects in the form while performing.
45 -** "Read" and "Write" buttons performs now firstly a SSC-32 V2 recognition as the ones in H2 Seq form.
46 -** Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.

57 -* Registers:
58 -** "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.

96 -* 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.
97 -* Improvement:
98 -** 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.
