Question about Uptech MultiFLEX2???

2010-11-14T21:47:20+01:00

I don't know who "they" are in your post. Can they show you a working Bioloid with Multiflex ? How is that better than normal Bioloid for the increased price (moves, video, network) ?

I know Uptech have some very good products, but have no experience of their support or the support of their Western distributors. While the Multiflex is designed closely to the Bioloid, I am surprised by some of the limitations especially voltage range.

Roboard does work in Bioloid, and the support of Roboard through Robosavvy is very good

Gumstix is used by "gods " of Robotis community often with RX or AX servos !

No linux board will be without challenges, so ask for help here.

If you are using Multiflex, I hope you report experience here too.

Ok, i-bot ,
but when i ask about the Uptech MultiFLEX2-PXA270 and Roboard they told me:

"The RoBoard single board computer is intended to mate perfectly with the Kondo humanoid robot, while the Uptech MultiFLEX2 is intended to be used with the Bioloid product line."[/b]

I'am confused

The two most popular linux boards seem to be the Roboard and the Gumstix. There are some new alternatives to Gumstix, see the post here:

Roboard has built in AX12 support, Gumstix or similar is more powerfull, but needs USB2Dynamixel for AX12 interface.

I did take a look at this board and decided against it due to the price and the weight of unwanted features. Also I wanted to run my AX12+ at 12V, which the board does not appear to support directly.
