Refer to the tutorial to assign IDs to the servo.
3. Keil5 Installation
Keil5 is the IDE for STM32 development. Download the latest IDE from the official Keil website.
After installing the IDE, you also need to install the chip package for the STM32 F1 series.
Please search for a related video or text tutorial as needed.
4. STLinkV2 Driver Installation
For STLink driver installation materials and instructions on configuring the downloader options in Keil5, you can ask the STLinkV2 seller for documentation and technical support.
Note: Other downloaders can also be used. The setup is not limited to STLinkV2; this downloader is used here because it is inexpensive and occupies fewer pins.
5. USB to TTL Driver Download and Installation
The USB to TTL serial port chip used by the servo adapter board is CH340. Install the CH340 driver on Windows.
After the driver is installed, check whether the installation was successful.
