wow i had not kept up with this thread and didn't realize a kit was being made, this makes me very happy as i was worried about spending alot on trial and error for this project

Hey guys-
I'm having trouble getting Parlay to work using the SSC32. Has anyone figured this out? Seems like hte servos only work when selecting the MiniSSC- but then the servo settings are all wrong. I get the error message about it damaging hte board, etc etc. Any clues on this?
Thanks

It only works with the mini ssc or the SSC-32 in mini ssc mode. But then, I only have the SSC-32 and I only use it in mini ssc mode. You don't have to have servos hooked up to use parlay. you can export the data to VSA.

Right. I want to use it with SSC32 and the joystick. But, I need to put the settings (min/max) in there for it to work right and not over exert the servos/prop. But it won't let me. I want it to work in real time so I can see what I'm doing, while I'm doing it. Any ideas here?

Yeah, when I try to set the servo limits- it give me an error- 'invalid property value '380' and then it closes the program...

It only runs the servos real time when you have mini ssc button selected. you can set the upper and lower limits with the servo limit boxes on the right.

Oops. I haven't seen that one

Hey Wicc_Ed (or anyone else for that matter)
Switching over to VSA... using the joystick, when I program the mouth movements to the audio- I have to move left/right while holding the button. Is there a way to orientate the joystick so that it's up/down instead? I know I can turn the thing, but it's more comfortable the normal way, especially while holding the button down.

OR- if anyone has a better suggestion for how to program the mouth movements? I guess I could record a separate audio file of me *cough cough* singing the words, then do a WaveMotion Analysis on THAT file- get the captured event, then try to line up the REAL audio to it? What's the easiest way to do this?

I might start another Thread for these types of questions. We're into software questions, and it doesn't quite fit this thread... or does it?

Specter, I had the same problem with the joystick. But I just delt with the sideways movement. After a few times it becomes second nature.
Before I realized about the capture function I tried the wave analysis with me singing, and then loaded the original back in. It was close but I could tell the difference. This is what made me so happy that the capture was available.

But if your feeling realy ambitous, you could probably take the joystick apart and rewire it... however it wouldnt do you much good if you tried to use it for games.
