example is using

Shield-Servo with Arduino.

7.1 Using Shield-Servo with computer

After installation of

Shield-Servo GUI

and UC00A/UC00C driver, user is ready to use

Shield-Servo with computer/laptop.

a. Setup Shield-Servo according to steps in

. Connect UC00A/UC00C to Shield-Servo,

another end of UC00A/UC00C to PC.

b. Power up Shield-Servo. When power is connected, power indicator LED will turn ON.

c. Click Shield-Servo V1.0 application to start control Servo motor. Before the GUI is able

to control Servo motor on Shield-Servo, connection must be made. Click on COM port,
choose the last COM port, click connect.
