Code for Resetting PSC

Lex

I'm trying to use 2 switches to position my servos via the PSC.

When a change in switch status occurs, the servos does not respond. They will only move after I've pressed the reset button on the PSC.

Is there any code that I can use to reset the PSC withotu manually resetting it?

Adrian Schneider

your main program should end with

GOTO Main

not with

RETURN

.

I've checked, it works the same with either "RETURN" or "GOTO MAIN"

there's a soft buzzing sound coming from the PSC when it's not responding. the green indicator is ON, meaning that comms is good.
Either a manual reset or re-inserting the +5V in to the breadboard will do the trick. The thing is I'm trying to use RF to send in the signals.

I'm thinking of using transistor to control the +5V signal. Any ideas?

Looking at your code it seems the PSC is getting multiple commands right in a row with no delays to allow anything to happen. It’s no wonder you’re getting the buzzing since as soon as you tell it to go to one position it immediately gets a new position and so on. You need to give the servos time to reach their new positions before sending new commands.

Remember that you can poll (query) the PSC to find out where the servo pulse actually is (depending on ramp speed, position, etc) to determine if the servo has theoretically reached the position you commanded it to go to. See the documentation for info on servo position reporting.
