ServoMaster: Driver Release Notes |  |
Common Problems
Serial
Basically, you're likely to run into a single problem, namely, installing and using RxTx (which you'll need for all serial drivers to work).
For me, version 1.4-15 worked (and still works, with uptime measured in months) perfectly, however, it can be a real pain in the neck to compile on new platforms, and I don't even remember if I ever compiled it successfully with JDK 1.5.
Recently, the situation [allegedly] improved, and versions after 2.1-7pre20 may work without segfaulting within a minute. Caveat emptor.
USB
Starting with release 0.6p3dev1, jUSB was replaced with javax.usb.
Moreover, to make things more seamless, javax.usb is now prepackaged with ServoMaster, so it should be mostly invisible to you.
The change was quite drastic and backward incompatible.
Should you run into problems with jUSB-based version, try javax.usb-based version first. Should you run into problems with javax.usb-based version, please report them so I can fix them right away.
