Hello, I am using an Arduino Uno with a Dynamixel Shield to control a Dynamixel XM430-W350-R Servomotor. Whenever I try to run the following code from the DynamixelShield
Library.

dxl.setGoalPosition(DXL_ID, 512);
delay(1000);
// Print present position in raw value
DEBUG_SERIAL.print("Present Position(raw) : ");
DEBUG_SERIAL.println(dxl.getPresentPosition(DXL_ID));
delay(1000);
// Set Goal Position in DEGREE value
dxl.setGoalPosition(DXL_ID, 5.7, UNIT_DEGREE);
delay(1000);
// Print present position in degree value
DEBUG_SERIAL.print("Present Position(degree) : ");
DEBUG_SERIAL.println(dxl.getPresentPosition(DXL_ID, UNIT_DEGREE));
delay(1000);
}
Also, the motor doesn't function at all despite the power light turning on. How do I get the motor to work, or even communicate correctly?
I connect the Servo with Shield and Arduino so
