Ensure the board is recognized by the computer and if not, install the proper drivers. 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. 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.
