Herkulex to Arduino Uno/ Leonardo connection problem
Hi, I have been looking around forums and could not find the answer.
I have a Herkulex 0101 servo, detail can be seen here: http://www.sgbotic.com/products/datasheets/robotics/HerkuleX_Arduino_library_Quickstart_Eng.pdf
Right now, my connection consists of Computer (windows 10) -> Arduino Uno and Arduino Leonardo (I have both) -> Servo.
However, servo LED blinks red even before I write anything to the Arduino. I have downloaded two different Herkulex libraries and none of it works. Arduino software can upload data to Arduino but the servo does not responding.
Herkulex Manager does not detect the servo as well.
Lastly, I read that it may be related to baudrate and/or something called as SoftSerial. I have mechanical engineer background but very limited knowledge to electronics.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
