I have not been able to connect the arm to the cube orange plus. Is there any way to configure it with cube orange plus?
If yes, could you please tell me how to configure it.
Any help or guidance will be of great value to me.
Thank you.

Since it’s a serial port interface, you will need to connect it to one of the TELEM ports on the Cube Orange.

Note, there is currently no support for that model of Robot Arm in Ardupilot, so you will need to add software support yourself. The easiest way would be a Lua script - see Lua Scripts — Copter documentation for details
