HK GCS & Micro Maestro

Hi,

I've been trying to set up antenna tracking using Micro Maestro (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1350)

but so far wasnt able to make servos move.

I followed these instructions: http://code.google.com/p/happykillmore-gcs/wiki/Tracking

I can control servos 0 and 1 through Pololu software.

 

Also tried with ssc03a driver using both pololu and mini ssc 2 protocols but no success there as well.

As soon as i move a slider to turn servo, red light (serial error) comes on. 

Connected usb-to-serial out on pc directly to rs232 input on this board using only 2 pins (serial in and ground.) Powered through bec i had laying around.

 

Anyone got experience troubleshooting this?

Thanks
