Once the servo is powered and properly connected to the computer, the COM port should appear in the COM port list. Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. If you have multiple communication ports active, go to Windows -> Device Manager to determine which is appropriate for the USB to serial adapter you are using. Click CONNECT to connect to the servo. The software automatically scans all standard baud rates using ID254 (broadcast ID) and waits for a reply from the servo connected. Should an incorrect COM port be selected, the software will keep trying to connect. If you wish to change the COM port selected you must disconnect, select the correct COM port and reconnect. If you are not sure which COM port to select, in Windows, go to Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) and select the port associated with the USB to serial device.
