Controlling a Cytron G15 Smart Cube Servo

Using Arduino Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
1

Hey everyone.

I have been spending the past few months looking for a motor that meets a set of requirements I have, and recently found the Cytron G15 cube servo. --

I am now struggling with the challenge of how to control the smart servo.

I am using the NodeMCU (ESP8266 12-E) V2.0, so therefore I cannot use the G15 Shield, which is not compatible with this microcontroller.

However I found a driver, called the GD02 Driver, which can be used to control the motor using a few of the controllers gpio pins. -- https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/1/d/1db74754e886376e622f42f8b37f7535b4f92e4b.pdf

However in the pdf you will find that when connecting to the GPIO pins for tx and rx, it has a switch to toggle between the GPIO pins based on which board is being used. What that means is it has a switch that toggles weather TX is pin 0, and RX is pin 1, or if TX is pin 1, and RX is pin 0. (on the microcontroller)

However on the NodeMCU, RX is GPIO 1, and TX is GPIO 3.

Is it still possible to control this motor using this board, and if so, how would the wiring look like.

Thanks in advance for any help
