You can use UC00A USB to UART converter to connect to the port dedicated for it on SC08A.

See the datasheet, the keyword is UART. Learn how to use UART.

That the keyword 'UART'. No answer software that compatible with SC08A, but the software compatible to interface with 'UART'.
You can use Visual Basic to program and use USB-to-UART converter as interface USB to the SC08A.

At the moment Cytron has not come out with sample GUI for SC08A. If you really need a related software (GUI), you can refer to SC16A's GUI. However, the command that sending to the servo controller is different. You need to modify on the GUI code. The whole GUI project code is free to download.

hi ,

if u do not need gui, and just need simple command send then i think u can use Hyperterminal of ur windows to send it.
