Bioloid Vision Module

[5932XC]

Hi Hamid, works !!!

Now , I suppose that this bootloader can not interacts with the Behavior Control Program, so if I want to program a Robot , must be using C , right?
The same for the Motion Editing because the Robot Terminal is disabled.
Thus, I think that I need some libraries in order to comunicate with the AX-12 and the AX-S1, that will response according to the results of your Vision Module previously study the example.c code.
If all this is right ... where I can find the Dynamixel libraries if this exist? or ...Must I to create the subroutines based in the datasheet of the AX-12 and AX-S1?. Please explainme this.

Thanks a lot for your help , at this moment I'm playing with your calib software, sampling pictures etc.

Best Regards

Hi Edwin,

yes it seems to be so,

the only way I know is to hold the key "#" and reset the CM5 while it is connected to the terminal to enter the bootloader.

then give the command "Load" or simply "L" and select the hex file from transmit menu.

after it is successfully finished, send command "Go"

if everything is Ok you should receive a letter "r" as the response.

do this and give me the reseult.

regards,
Hamid.

Hi Edwin,

Very nice
ok, I have put an example program on the forum, in which the pan/tilt system follows the ball. In this program you can find many usefull functions, some I have taken from example.c and some others I have written myself.

unfortunately, HaViMo is not yet supported by behavior control program from Robotis. however most people use C as their programming language shortly after some experiments with behavior controller.

Also, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Hamid.

Hello Hamid:

Thanks for your help and contratulations for this nice work.
Actually I dont like the Bahaviour Control Program, this is a very limited programming software ( no math functions, limited conditional statments etc) but useful for the beginner programers like the kids, in fact I am thinking in gift a begginer Kit to my nephew.
I will looking for your example with a pan/tilt configuration and If I have comments or doubts , be sure i will ask to you again.

Best regards and have a nice weekend.

Hi Himid,

I have just bought a HaViMo. After examining the camera and the circuit board, I have an idea to combine the HaViMo into AX-S1 togehter with pan and tilt function. In order to do so, I have to re-locate the manual soldering electronic components soldered onto the circuit board in order to fit the board into the lower compartment of AX-S1 with the camera sit below the front of IR. Thus, do you mind to share the schematic circuit diagram so that I can plan what to do the "surgery"? In addition, what type of the transistor soldered onto the board?
Thanks in advance.

If you do succeed, please do post pictures of the intermediate steps taken to fit both in the AX-S1 module, surely others will be interested.

[DanielHK]

I have sucessfully combined the HaiMo into the AX-S1 without removal any electronic component from the original circuit board.

I have made use the lower compartment of AX-S1 which is empty. I only need to remove the unwanted plastic part from that compartment and then fit the board into the hollow space, drill a hole below the front IR to accomodate the camera head.

I have taken some photos but I do not know how to upload them . Can anyone teach me how to do this?

It's very easy

- login
- from your user menu (left bottom), click on"My Files"
- and then, from the File Manager, click on "Upload files"

[DanielHK]

Thanks. I have upload the images to the file manager. Please refer to the images from http://robosavvy.com/Builders/DanielHK

thanks!
so you have an AX-S1 with a HaViMo module combined

[StuartL]

That's an impressive piece of hackery

Hi ALL!

Is it possible to deal with HaViMo through USB2Dynamixel adapter?

[limor]

Hi ALL!
Is it possible to deal with HaViMo through USB2Dynamixel adapter?

Yes.
HaViMo supports the standard Dynamixel protocol.
USB2Dynamixel allows PC programs to communicate with any Dynamixel compatible devices.

We have tried to connect to HaViMo via USBtoDynamixel program and could not find ID of camera.

Please help us how we can control HaViMo with USBtoDynamixel.

Hi Divarnet,

We have tried to connect to HaViMo via USBtoDynamixel program and could not find ID of camera.

Please help us how we can control HaViMo with USBtoDynamixel.

HaViMo uses the same protocol as Dynamixel servos, the only difference is that the ID is fixed at 100.
could you please explain in detail what you have done sofar?

Hamid.

Hi ALL again!

I have problem with HaViMo.
I connect HaViMo to CM-5 (for power), CM-5 to USBToDynamixel.
Then I run program "Dynamixel Manager for Windows". It could not see any id. But HaViMo works correct with program "Ha Vi Mo Color Calibration".
Did anybody connect HaViMo to USBToDynamixel?
