Hello,
I’m having some trouble with my Micro Serial Servo Controller and would like to ask a few questions, maybe anyone can help me with this.
I’ve connected the controller to a linux pc via a usb-serial adapter and now I’m not sure, if the controller needs an initialization, or if I can set the absolute position in pololu mode right from the start?
I have an external 6V voltage + ground connected to power the controller. The Tx pin of the serial output is connected to the RS232 input of the controller. The serial port is initlaised with a baud rate of 9600, 8N1 and there is no hardware flow control. Sending commands over the serial port was tested by using a loopback device.
When I connect the contoller, the red LED and the yellow LED are constantly turned on. Sending commands to it for instance a 6 byte command to set the absolute position does not make any change.
According to the manual, only the yellow LED shall be turned on. Do I need to make a special initialization, or might the controller even be damaged?
I would be thankful for any help.
