Can the Axon control the Dynamixel AX-12+ Robot Actuator
« on: April 02, 2009, 04:50:12 AM »
Hello Sir,

I ordered 10 parts of the servo motor "Dynamixel AX-12+ Robot Actuator"  from Trossen Robotics.

I wonder Sir can the Axon control them all since their requirements are somehow different and how to write the code.

The servo specification is on this page:
http://www.trossenrobotics.com/dynamixel-ax-12-robot-actuator.aspx

Thank you Sir,

Yes it can, but you can only connect through the I2C connector.

Looking at the datasheet it would appear that the actuators could use a UART on the Axon. But rather than having separate Tx and Rx lines they just have one line and they show a diagram of the extra hardware you can add to do this. You would also need to use one digital I/O pin to control this extra hardware that switches the line between Tx and Rx. Then its just a matter of sending out the serial commands in the packet format they describe.
