How to Identify your Servotor32 Firmware

There are two ways to identify your Servotor32 firmware:

Option 1 – PoMoCo 2

Don’t have PoMoCo 2? Get it here.

When using PoMoCo 2, the connection bar up top shows the status of the connection with the Servotor32, as well as its firmware version.

Once you autoconnect/connect with the board, you should see the firmware version on the right:

Option 2 – Serial Commands

1 – Install the Arduino IDE

The latest version are available from here, or you can download the version 1.6.7 below:
 Windows XP, Vista, 7/8/10

Mac OSX

Linux 32 Linux 64


2 – Open the Arduino IDE and Select the Port

Select the serial port that your Servotor32 is on. It should say ‘Arduino Leonardo’ or ‘ArcBotics Servotor32’ on the right if you are using the latest version of Arduino. If you don’t see this port, try plugging the board back in, re-installing PoMoCo, or installing just the driver.



3 – Open the serial Monitor 


If it says ‘Done Uploading’, the code had loaded! Click on the Serial Monitor in the upper right-hand corner of the Arduino IDE to talk to the board – make sure the serial port is selected first.

4 – Enter ‘V’ into the title, making sure that newline is selected for the line ending

With the Serial Monitor Open, and newline selected from the box at the bottom, type the capital letter V into the box on top and press enter, the board should reply back with its firmware version.


5 – Look for the firmware name to come back. Success!


There’s the firmware version! Go ahead and play with PoMoCo.

You can also try other commands with the board. We have a full list here:
