• Cypress USB to Serial Driver
• Windows DLL

Under Development:

• Joystick DLL
• Servo Sequencer

Just run the included utility and the USB to Serial drivers will be installed to the next available COM port on the system. This usually starts with COM3 since COM1 and COM2 may already be on the system. The driver must be installed for each board you are planning to use on the system. Example: if you are to use two SC-8000, the drivers must be installed twice, once for each board.

Note: The driver will install on a different COM port for each USB port available. For example: if you are planning to use 8 SC-8000 controllers (64 servos: big project!), you can install two 4-port hubs to the PC. This will make 8 ports available. As you are connecting each SC-8000 to the available USB port, you will need to install the driver for that port.
 

Windows DLL

To get you going quickly, a Windows DLL is provided to easy the development process. Most programming examples will call the DLL. You can always send serial data directly to the SC8000 using the communication protocol. See this page.
 

The Joystick DLL simplifies programming of Joystick inputs. This includes various Human Interface Devices usually used for gaming such as joysticks and gamepads. The DLL make calls to the Microsoft DirectInput component of the DirectX library. Upto 4 devices can be connected.

Essentially you can connect 4 joysticks and gamepads to the system, assigns the joystick controls to the axis on the SC-8000, and rock-n-roll!
 

Analogous to the popular music creation MIDI sequencer, the Servo Sequencer is an application for the "motion designer" to create complex coordinated motion using an easy to use yet advanced interface. Just imagine the ability to capture a series of motion (via joystick for example), then edit and test out the motion sequence on the controller. The editing can be time stretch, time contract, motion smooth, sequence cut, sequence paste; and other editing features unavailable with any other motion control software.

Just as the musician can record and perfect one track at a time, the Servo Sequencer let's you do that with servo motions.
