Select the one to which you have attached the USB2Dynamixel\nfor example on my machine (a Mac) it shows up as:\n\n    /dev/tty.usbserial-A8005k21\n\nIf you are on Windows you will need to enter the name of the correct USB port\nmanually.\n\nYou will then be asked to enter a baud rate, the default should work. Finally \nenter highest ID number of the attached servos.\n\nIf servos are found the script will ask if you want to move them to their home \npositions (512).\n\nType 'y' and they should move! If they were already at their home positions\ntry editing the script to move them to another position. \n\nIf they still don't move you'll need to trouble shoot.\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\n- When you plug in the USB2Dynamixel to your computer does the red power LED\n  light up?\n    - If not your module may be defective, or your USB port may not be powered.\n- When the script says \"Scanning for Dynamixels ...\" does the yellow LED on the\n  USB2Dynamixel blink ~1/second?\n    - The module is not receiving commands or is not transmitting them.\n    - Try reconnecting the module, or lowering the baud rate.\n- No servos are found even though they are connected.\n    - Is the USB2Dynamixel set to the correct communications type? For AX-12\n      servos it should be set to TTL.\n- Still no servos found!\n    - When you plug in the power to the servo network does the power indicator\n      LED on the servo briefly light up red?\n        - Double check there is really power being supplied.\n        - Double check the servo network cables are firmly seated into each\n          servo.\n        - Otherwise the servo or cables may be defective.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fiandanforth%2Fpydynamixel","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fiandanforth%2Fpydynamixel","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fiandanforth%2Fpydynamixel/lists"}
