PiKoder/SSCe - Serial Servo Controller easy for eight channels
|
There is probably no easier way than this one-chip-solution to control eight servo channels, esc, or digital outputs via a serial UART. And you can connect e.g. your Arduino or Raspberry Pi without any additional hardware to the SSCe. A USB-converter allows you to control the servos from your computer.
The PiKoder/SSCe supports two protocols:
- MiniSSC protocol representing a very common protocol for controlling SSCs
- a two-way ASCII-Protocol for customizing and controlling the SSC with standard terminal programs
You can operate the PiKoder/SSCe with 3.3 Volts. This eliminates the need for a dedicated 5 V power supply in embedded systems when other modules such as Bluetooth transmitters are used which require 3.3 V.
The PCC (PiKoder Control Center) with its graphical user interfaces provides for testing and customization of the PiKoder/SSCe.

The User's Guide provides detailed information regarding the features and the application of the PiKoder/SSCe.
PiKoder/SSC Daisy Chaining (.pdf file, EN)
This application note outlines how you can control up to 255 servos by daisy chaining PiKoder/SSC(e).
Python Script "PiKoderTest"
This script demonstrates how to set the channel values using the Ascii Command Interface.
