SV203

- Commands Descriptions

SVn

Select Servo

On power-up, servo #1 is pre-selected. To select another servo or
to make sure the servo is selected, send “SV” followed by the servo
number. The servo number must be between 1 and 8 because there
is a maximum of eight servos that the board can control.

i.e.

SV3 <enter>

servo #3 will be selected. Any move commands that follow
will operate on servo #3.
