hi there,i very confused and stuck for a month to solve this prob.
my prob how to communicate between arduino mega and ax-18F servo.is't i need to using any device?
thanks

i think it is a half dulplex communication. what is the shield that u use to control it aside from the main board. u need a shield to convert the duplex communication of arduino main board to half duplex.

probably u will like to try these.

Shield-G15

or G15 Driver

mayb u will like to try G15 GUI also.

for G15 is't compatible to solve the communication between arduino board to the ax-18F servo?

the communication method is same which is half-duplex. so u can use the G15-Shied and more, G15 shield has the connect on board for AX series digital servo.
just tat the arduino library provided might need some modification, this is because G15 servo is 360 degree angle controllable. not sure about the ax servo. u can modify or add function to the arduino library provided.
one more things is tat G15 baudrate is default to 500kps. so check what is the baud rate of the AX18 u have.
