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/?page_id=32 for all others (CM5/510/700/USB2Dynamixel)
