they were pretty stable back in 2010 so you can use with confidence.

Thanks. That was my plan B. I'm way late to the party but it probably also means many people have already used and tested it.

Latest version is there.

Anyone know if the author is still around? I'm looking for the latest libraries for the CM-5 controller. Just built a really cool robot using Dynamixels from the Bioloid kit as robot arms. Want to get rid of the USB2Dynamixel I'm using and instead use the CM-5 and serial cable to another controller (Arduino Mega).

I have a vid of the bot on Instructables. I have entered it into a contest:

You can see the arms made from a Bioloid kit parts.

Thanks!

One of the biggest overheads we're seeing are for 32-bit arithmetic (needed for accurate trig) and interrupt overhead. If we can switch to the platform we're thinking of (see other thread) both of these should be resolved natively

makefile, additional src and header files

2012-04-22T13:30:03+01:00

Hello everyone,

ive started using the libbioloid api by adding my own code to the delivered example.c. Now i've written some stuff, that i also want to use in another project, but including the code in every new single sourcefile is very tedious and error prone, just like writing all code into only one single source file. I'm pretty much used to using makefiles and such, but i cant seem to understand, how i can get it to make additional source and header files in addition to the example.c.

Has anyone else run into this? I would really appreciate any kind of hint/help.

Hello.

I really need help. I've been given 3 CM-5 used months or years ago by some university students and they were using this firmware and library.

I've been trying to use the Bioloid software for hours before finding out that they had this library and firmware installed, then found this topic, and the web down, with no mirror anywere.

How do I reinstall the original firmware?? I don't know which option to choose! I tried with b/B: bridge" and then uploading the hex, but it does nothing. I mean, it uploads the file, but then when I restart the CM-5, everything is the same.

I NEED help. Does anyone know how to restore the firmware, or if the liblioloid library is uploaded elsewhere so I can read the readme and info files? Thanks!
