Direct USB

Direct USB is the simplest physical connection for one actuator.

Connect

1. Complete Actuator setup.
2. Connect the actuator directly to the computer using a USB-C cable.
3. Confirm that the LED indicates USB communication; see LED status indicators.

Verify

Use either:

• Pulsar App; or
• Pulsar Python SDK with PcpOverUsb and actuator address 0.

The SDK and CLI auto-detect the port when possible. If several Pulsar serial devices are connected, pass the port explicitly.
