1.2.2 Serial connection
CDS55xx robot servo uses a half-duplex UART bus for serial communication.
There are two main methods to connect a CDS55xx servo:
Method OneControl CDS55xx via a UP-debugger (or Robotis USB2Dynamixel)
The UP-debugger will be recognized as a virtual RS-232 serial port device. User can
send instruction packet with RS-232 communication software(Such as Hyper Terminal or
UPTECH Robotics RobotServoTerminal), the instruction packet will be send to the
UP-debugger and transferred to the CDS55xx robot servo. The servo will execute the
instruction packet and return a response packet.
The RobotServoTerminal software is designed for tuning or setting up CDS55xx robot
servos. This method is a convenient method to set up and tune your servos. If you use a
PC as the robots main controller, this method enables you to control servos with only a
UP-debugger board.
