Hi, I would like to connect and run some serial servos using my EZ-B v4. Unfortunately, they are not Feetech, so which Project should I use?

There are 2 Feetech skills/plugins:
Serial bus: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Servo/Feetech-Serial-Bus-Servo?id=19570
RS485 bus: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Servo/Feetech-RS485-Servo?id=20619
"Serial servos" is a type of servo communication. It’s not a model or manufacturer. Therefore the make and model would be needed. If it’s not supported (look at servo robot skills list), it would need to be supported.
Thanks very much, I am always so impressed with this Community support!
I am actually trying to connect some Meccano Meccanoid servos directly to my EZ-B, but having searched for 'Meccano' I see I would have to use an Arduino. Unfortunately, this is way beyond me.
So, as most of this activity was a couple of years ago, is it still better to just replace them all with EZ-HDD ones?
The Meccano servos are not very strong and will give you some trouble. I always recommend the ezrobot hdd servos in replacement of hobby servo form factor. Plus they’re super quiet and strong
Thanks very much for all your help, I have just ordered some!
