Servo Control
How do I reset all servos and calibrate each servo? I am performing the initial JD Humanoid Robot assembly, and after the assembly, I connected JD to WiFi and then started on the Servo setup. I had to stop the process because one of the arms was not in the correct orientation when attached. Can I restart the servo calibration positions?
