Description
*Starting from May 15, Shield-G15 is shipped in Rev2.0. Please refer to Rev2.0 User's Manual.
 
Cytron G15 Shield is a shield for controlling Cytron’s G15 Cube Servo and Robotis Dynamixel AX-12 (removed in Rev2.0) servo motor. It is compatible with CT-UNOArduino UNO, Arduino Duemilanove, Arduino Mega, Arduino Leonardo and possibly other pin compatible main boards. This shield has two four ports for Cytron’s G15 Cube Servo and two ports for Robotis’ Dynamixel AX-12 servo. G15 is serial servo. Hence more than one servo can be daisy-chained in series. User may choose to supply the servo motor from Arduino's VIN or the External Power port of Cytron G15 Shield. It also has stackable side headers which allows other Arduino shields to be stacked on top of it.
 
We have developed the library and example sketch for G15.

* For Rev1.0, please disconnect G15 from the shield during program loading (Arduin UNO or Mega) as the G15 will receive Arduino program too.
 
* For Rev2.0, please use software serial pin (D2, D3, D8, D9, D10, D11) when load program into Arduino.
