However, I was wondering if we can extend the range as JD uses WiFi to connect to the PC. Can we keep the robot connected to a local PC but still use a remote PC from which can...

ARC Or ARC With Arbotix Board?

Hi, Would your hack for the Robotis OpenCM9 and Bioloid Premium work with an ArbotiX board? (Trossen Robotics). It is an Arduino based board that works with Dynamixels. I ask because the OpenCM9-C does not support AX12s and I cannot find the OpenCM9 - B for sale. I think that it had both the small XL and AX connectors. I want to learn ARC using...
