NAME

Device::MiniSSCII - Perl device driver for the Mini SSC II serial servo controller

SYNOPSIS

  my $ssc = Device::MiniSSCII->new(
                                device => '/dev/ttyS0',
                                baudrate => 9600
                                );
  $ssc->move( 0, 100 );
  $ssc->close;

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a driver for the Mini SSC II servo controller from Scott Edwards Electronics Inc (http://www.seetron.com/ssc.htm).

METHODS

new - constructor

 my $ssc = Device::MiniSSCII->new(
                                device => '/dev/ttyS0',
                                baudrate => 9600
                                )

The constructor expects two arguments, a device that denotes the serial port and a baudrate that can be either 2400 or 9600.

move - Set the position of a servo

  $ssc->move( 0, 128 );

This method sets the position of a servo. The first argument is the servo number, in the range from 0 to 255. The second parameter represents the position to set the servo to, also in the range from 0 to 255.

close - Close serial connection and clean-up

  $ssc->close;
