To the ezb family I'm having issues on the bioloid premium robot dynamixel controller plugin and wi-fi connection. I have both ezb controllers the tiny and the 4 the 1st generation. I have a important project do, and will be graduating soon and robotics is my minor. I need some help please, thank you Mike.
We know the plugin works for those who use it, so just saying "I am having issues" is not helpful to help you.

Next, you will need to wire the dynamixel servo to the IoTiny. You can use any of the digital ports. Remember to provide enough power to the servo.
Because you're using the IoTiny, the baud rate of the dynamixel servos will need to be modified. You can use the robotisis USB dongle to program the servos for the desired baud rate.
Once that's all done, the rest is simple. Add the servos and configure them in the dynamixel plugin. Every Vxx servo in the ARC software will control the dynamixel servos! Super easy
All of this information is available to you in the learn section for your product (IoTiny). If I were you, I'd begin following some tutorials to get an idea of where to start. It doesn't sound like you've even installed the software or viewed a single tutorial. Even though ezrobot is the easiest and most powerful robot platform, you still need a very basic understanding of how to use it. It won't take too much time to learn - much less time than anything else, that's what we're proud of
The biggest part here is learning how to install the software, connect to the IoTiny, and make it do a few things first. It won't take very long, a few hours at most - to familiarize yourself with the platform and software.
Once you have the IoTiny connecting and make it move a few regular/normal servos (not dynamixel), then you'll know what to expect when you begin controlling the bioloid.
Have fun! and let us know your progress...
I'm using the ezb4/2 controller, and following on learn, but no movements with the dynamixel. Everything else is ok, and also I'm using a adapter hub that has all of the dynamixel plugs in it. I'm on school break from college, so I couldn't work on this project. I want to learn the software because my degree is in teaching and I've been into robots since the 6th grade.
