11 +with either
12 +the SSC-32 or the SSC-32U servo controller. Take note of which version you have
13 +and follow each step accordingly, as the connections and configuration
14 +are different. Calibration of the arm is done using one of the

610 + </b>Just like in the base instructions, we will use the SSC-32 Servo
611 +Sequencer Utility to test the servos and confirm they are all plugged
612 +into their proper servo channels and oriented correctly. If not done so
613 +before, download and install the <a href="http://www.lynxmotion.com/p-895-free-download-ssc-32-servo-sequencer-utility-created-using-flowbotics-studio.aspx" target="_blank">SSC-32 Servo Sequencer Utility</a>. Connect the USB

617 +The SSC-32U is shipped with a baud rate of 9600. Ensure the baud rate
618 +towards the bottom right of the window is set to 9600 (not 115200). The
619 +software should automatically detect which COM port is connected to the
620 +SSC-32U, and have installed the <a href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm" target="_blank">FTDI
621 +(USB to serial) drivers</a> automatically.<br>
