Very basic control problem of Dynamixel MX28T servo

Beginner needs help here！ I am trying to control a mx28T servo using my mbed NXP LPC1768. But it is not working, no response :(

I used the library from Georgios Petrou (https://os.mbed.com/users/GIPetrou/code/MX28/) and the code I am using is:

I set the servo Id and baudrate.( My case is 0x07and 57142)

the connection is also very simple. TX and RX (p9 and p10) connect together to the TTL Data line of the servo. common ground is connected between the mbed board and the servo.

what else can the problem be??? have tried for several days but all failed ........
