Since my robot is running on a Raspberry Pi, which is now supported by ARC, I decided to evolve my current project K[8] into a new one called ZOE... First steps will creating a new servo setup which supports Dynamixel Servos, and a new Conceptual design!!

This the result of too much free time lately, the new project is a robot drawing a sphere, using the low-cost approach...
Thanks, I just checked at the LewanSoul plugin page..So I guess the Dynamixel plugin works the same its been a while since I used it! I will see if I can figure out whats going on...
Oooops - I misunderstood. Here's the link to the LewanSoul smart servo control that has the source code: https://synthiam.com/Products/Manual/LewanSoul-Servo-15987
I might be able to lend a hand...
Does the usb controller use the regular smart servo protocol?
And does it detect as a COM port serial device on the PC?
Why wouldn't you use the EZ-B or IoTiny or Arduino with them?
Hey, I am using this library to drive my servos...

There is not much to that board, just an integrated circuit and a voltage regulator, if I remember it correctly. I will check once more once I am home!
All you need is to specify the COM port and send the servos protocol.
It is a lot easier to use than an Arduino, because you do not need to run any Firmware...you can directly connect by sending the Protocol! Also you are having the hub with the right connections and you can get the servos powered!
Its kind of like those Dynamixel Power Hubs...very convenient!!
If it is not too much to ask, I would be very happy if you could help me with a plugin...this would be a very hard task for me, if I could even manage to get it done!!
I checked the board, its got one USB to serial chip.. CH340 The other one seems to be the following integrated circuit... 74hc126d
Can't promise it'll work - but try this update: https://synthiam.com/Products/Manual/LewanSoul-Servo-15987
It works!!! Now ZOE can have ARC integration even easier than ever!!!
I just installed the EZBPi server to ZOEs new head design...so this will be the fresh brain to operate my project!! I am still having a bit of trouble with my Pi Camera, but I will update ARC and the EZBPi Server and try again!
Very happy to see ARC being tightly connected to my robots new design!!!
There’s an update (hopefully next week) to fix tbt pi camera performance. We have a few things to do before that but it’ll be ready to go soon.
Also, for mono version of ARC is getting an update from beta.
