Hiwonder Serial Bus Servo Controller Communication Tester for Robotics, 40-Servo TTL Board w/ PC Software

Overview

This Serial Bus Servo Controller (Hiwonder) is a compact controller and communication/debugging board for Hiwonder serial bus servos, supporting PC software control, manual button programming, and TTL serial port communication for secondary development. It can also work with a PS2 wireless handle receiver for remote servo control (about 10 m).

Note: When using 11.1V serial bus servos (e.g., LX-224HV, 824HV), use an 11.1V lithium battery to power the servo.

Key Features

• Graphical PC software; supports online debugging
• High-performance STM32 CPU (ARM Cortex-M3 core); high-precision motion control with adjustable speed
• Manual button programming to set servo angle without a host computer
• PS2 handle interface; remote control distance about 10 m
• 10 bus servo connection ports; supports a total of 40 servo movements; servos can be connected in series
• 16M memory: can include 230 action groups; each action group contains 510 actions
• Low-voltage alarm: buzzer sounds when positive voltage is lower than 5.6 V
• Built-in power switch
• Computer driver-free operation; automatic connection supported by PC software
• Supports reading servo angle
• External MP3 module / Bluetooth module port
• Reserved serial communication interface for TTL serial communication with other development boards; Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Jetson Nano communication routines are provided
• Compatibility note: controller supports Hiwonder brand bus servos

On-board Interfaces and Indicators

• Micro USB port
• Secondary development serial communication port
• PS2 handle receiver port
• MP3 module / Bluetooth module port
• Servo ports (servo port pins labeled: Positive pole, Negative pole, Signal)
• Power terminals: VCC+ and VCC-

Specifications

PC Software Interface

• Bus Servo Control (V3.2.2) interface shown
• Connection status display
• Action group action buttons
• Servo slider control

The provided PC software supports online debugging, driver-free operation, automatic connection, and language switching. Servos can be debugged without coding by using slider control for rotation.

Applications

• Serial bus servo control and motion/action group playback
• Robotics projects requiring PS2 handle remote control
• TTL serial communication integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Jetson Nano

Details

Graphical PC software plus on-board controls make it easy to test, program, and debug Hiwonder bus servos from a compact controller board.

Clearly marked ports help speed up wiring for PC control, secondary development over TTL serial, and optional PS2 handle input.

Use the STM32-based controller for responsive servo control, quick angle setting via buttons, and PS2 receiver connectivity when needed.

Built-in memory stores action groups, while the low-voltage alarm helps protect projects when power drops during motion.

A convenient on-board switch simplifies power control, and the reserved header supports optional MP3 or Bluetooth add-ons.

Connect by Micro USB for driver-free software control, or use the TTL serial interface to link with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Jetson Nano.

Compact 58×42 mm size fits neatly into robotics builds while keeping ports accessible for wiring and mounting.

PC software provides online debugging with connection status, action groups, and slider-based angle control for each servo ID.

A typical setup powers the board from a battery, connects servos to the bus ports, and optionally adds a wireless PS2 receiver for remote control.
