Hi,

you just need to bridge GND and DATA lines on 3-pin connector. connect a 7.5-12 volt supply to VCC and GND pins of the 4 pin one, and use TXD and RXD for the communication.

Use 115200,8N1

Best regards,
Hamid.

Hi all

Just a quick heads up if you have one of the new CM-530 controllers:

The current [ CM-530 ] firmware (version 1.1969) has a noticeably long latency in switching between TX and RX on the Dynamixel bus. So a response packet from HaViMo gets corrupt.


A work around is available and can be obtained here http://www.havimo.com/?p=130

This limitation applies to Calibration only.
In implementation mode (ie after being calibrated) the CM-530 behaves perfectly when using HAViMo 2.0

Therefore at the moment, and if you have a CM-530, you can calibrate in 2 modes:
- Using a USb2Dynamixel
- By installing the Calibration firmware for CM-530
(not to be confused with calibration firmwares for other controllers - which is not needed!!!!
with the current HaViMoGUI, HaViMo can be calibrated directly from all other Robotis controllers without needing a calibration firmware.
Only the CM-530 requires this calibration firmware, at this point).


For more information please see here http://www.havimo.com/?p=130 if you have a CM-530 and here http://www.havimo.com/?page_id=32 for all others (CM5/510/700/USB2Dynamixel)
