HerkuleX servomotor connections

Technology
1

Hi, I have been looking around forums and could not find the answer.

I have a Herkulex 0101 servo, detail can be seen here:

Right now, my connection consists of
Computer (windows 10) -> Arduino Uno and Arduino Leonardo (I have both) -> Servo.

However, servo LED blinks red even before I write anything to the Arduino.
I have downloaded two different Herkulex libraries and none of it works.
Arduino software can upload data to Arduino but the servo does not responding.

Herkulex Manager does not detect the servo as well.

Lastly, I read that it may be related to baudrate and/or something called as SoftSerial.
I have mechanical engineer background but very limited knowledge to electronics.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much

Can you please something about your project? What are your schematics and other diagrams and what is your firmware?
Actually as per my suggestion you can also use another servo motor which will be compatible with your circuit?
