@Smarty,

Only to be sure:

  1. You double checked the connections (GND,VCC,Signal)
  2. Empty ARC project
  3. Servo on Port D0
  4. Change the Sleep(500) to Sleep(1000)

run the script

yes i got the 500 ms from that page:

To operate the robot using PWM, set the PWMINH flag to 0 and set the signal line at L level for 500ms when turning

Is the led on when you connect the servo to the usb controller ? or is only on when you send commands ?

it seems the red light is only on when using serial communication.

Did you pick one of the Humanoid servos, removed the Serial configuration flag and connected to the EZB to port D0 ?

You should isolate your setup: take one servo a side and connected to usb controller and check the behavior (leds lights if more than one) in PWM mode.

Then go the EZB and connect to port D0 and check if there are lights on, etc. Note: while in PWM mode you can't use daisy chain, so is important to have only one servo connected to EZB.

This might work in serial mode on D5. The one that DJ just emplimented. These servos might be a dynamixel knockoff or at least use the same protocol. Because they daisy chain you must be able to assign an ID, etc

@fxrtst Earlier in the thread DJ said he looked at source code for the serial protocol and it was a mess. I think if it was the same as Dynamixel he would have said so.
