please tell your solution.
thank you.

Hi, I think that "HUV Robotics" has a general I/O board that can handle DC motors and is allready compatible with dynamixel bus, also is very cheap..

connecting a DC motor to cm-5

Do you need a more powerfull motor, or just faster with less torque ?

You might do a custom drive based on one of the I/O boards mentioned in this forum. driving an H bridge or some other motor controller.

For a quick and dirty solution, I would take the board out ofan AX12 an add an external H bridge for the motor and gearing of my choice. I am not sure even if an external position sensing pot is required in wheel mode.
