New Dynamixel Servo Feature

Reading dynamixel servo position teaser. The update this week will include the ability to read positions from bi-directional servos, including Robotis Dynamixel.

There's also a new ez-script command to read any supported servo position for your custom programs as well!

Here's a video where I demonstrate the new capability with the Auto Position behavior control. I'll move the servos by hand and save the position to new frames. After adding the frames to an action, they can be played back with your custom settings.



Enjoy :D

That's great. Will  Synthiam be developing a feed back servo? Maybe something not as big and as expensive as the dynamixal ?

I can’t see from the video exactly what you did to the actual cable... can you explain further? Also will I be able to see feedback from all 6 of my mixed dynamixel servos at the same time? Thanks.      Chris

You can read up to 99 servos at the same time

The cable merely has two plugs for the ezb. I’ll post a diagram this week

Synthiam wont be making any hardware. All hardware is made by ezrobot or one of our hardware partners, like Robotis.

Great video DJ, I have Dynamixel servos 1,2,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17, and 18 to go with my other regular servos. Will it all work together on the ezb4 hooked up because I amusing a hub with a ps2 controller as well? Please let me know Mike.

you bet - long as the RX and TX are connected.

The Ps2 controller is irrelevant because it's merely another ARC peripheral.

Thank you DJ, where can I get the rx and tx connectors from?
